A Beacon in the Fog

A Beacon in the Fog

It was no surprise that my first photo shoot in San Francisco featured a lot of fog; after all, that's what the city is known for. What was interesting, though, was the way the fog dramatically changed this scene, shot from the Embarcadero, between nights: on this night, the view was much better in black & white, which emphasized the almost film noir feeling, while the next night was still foggy but much more suited to brilliant, poppy colours, as seen in "A Not Too Foggy Night."
