While researching information about the World’s most famous bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge, I found out I’ve crossed four of what many websites\/experts consider the most famous bridges in the world.<\/p>\n

\"Hand<\/p>\n

Those four out of the six most famous bridges in the world would be, the Golden Gate bride ( San Francisco ), the Tower Bridge ( London England ), the Ponte Vecchio ( Florence, Italy ), and the Rialto bridge ( Venice, Italy ).<\/p>\n

Living in the San Francisco Bay Area as a\u00a0professional sports photographer<\/a>\u00a0I’ve crossed the Golden Gate bridge many times and at all hours of the day. I’ve driven across the bridge at the speed limit, and other times barely exceeded 5 miles an hour to cross the bridge. While I’ve driven across the bridge hundreds of times, I may have only walked across it several times.<\/p>\n

The experience I remember most while crossing the other famous bridges was when my wife and I crossed the Tower Bridge in London during a visit to the British Isles. We had just come from visiting the Tower of London and decided to cross the Tower Bridge. While crossing the bridge I noticed a sign proclaiming it was the most famous bridge in the world. It saddened me that those misguided people in London thought their bridge was more famous than the Golden Gate.<\/p>\n

Here’s the details of this photo of the Golden Gate Bridge. The photo was taken on July 24th several years back at 8:48 PM. At the time of the year of the year you still get a mixture of skylight and ambient light. This photo was taken from the Marin side of the bridge at the visitor center. To compress the view, I was using my 70 to 200 mm zoom lens at 200 mm. I was able to make this image hand held by using the Images Stabilization feature of my Canon lens to capture the bridge at 1\/25 of a second at f4.5. I’m pretty good hand holding my camera and lens at low shutter speeds when required, but I wouldn’t have gotten a sharp image had it not been for the Image stabilization feature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
