I the opportunity for some time in San Francisco to try to figure out where the best place to photography the golden gate bridge could be. I had only 3 different times that I could go out shooting, so obviously it's a bit limited. But, still, I think I did find the best Golden Gate Bridge views and even managed to sneak in a couple shots that are more unique than your typical Golden Gate Bridge photography.
So where is the best place to photography the Golden Gate Bridge? My personal favourite was MacKenzie Beach, it just gave such a great perspective of the bridge. The other two locations I went to: Battery Spencer and Presidio Park were also very good, but just didn't have that extra element the beach did.
Anyways, I had so much fun photographing the Golden Gate Bridge, it's a really amazing place, and I'd love to get back where there's some fog!
I live in San Francisco and what he’s calling “MacKenzie Beach” is actually “Marshall’s Beach.” I hope future photographers visiting San Francisco find their way around well.
I love the last photos!
I like the monologue. I like to know what is going through people's minds while prepping for a shoot and actually shooting.
Brian Stalter thanks for the input, Brian. I really appreciate you watching, and the comment. Cheers!
I started to follow your channel a few month ago. I enjoy your content a lot. And you always impress me as a confident guy. I just stumble upon this episode. Listened to your monologue about your passion about photography and the anxiety and frustration for pursuing your dream, only $200 left in the bank. It hits me with the line "you know you are in love when you don't want to sleep because the world when you are awake is better then your widest dream". looking back lets me realize how far you have gone from. Really happy that life turns around for you. And you totally deserve it !!
Vlog style is cool because it always gives a behinds the scenes of what it took to get the shots. Keep 'em coming...
very exited to spend 2 days in SF . for sure i will visit the spot you mention. Muchas gracias for the info.
Awesome content, I think the little rant you had made this one of the best videos I've watched, it gave us a glance at what it's really like being a travel photographer
Thanks Andres Duran glad to know it wasn't completely out of place in this video. I made this channel to give a bit of that insight, so I'm glad I was able to share. Thanks so much for your comment and for watching!
Brendan, Since I saw this, I've found great photo's of the GGB at sunrise from the ocean side. Thanks again for opening my eyes to find unique photo op's. And i've lived here all my life.
man !! wow. u inspired me to get back to my passion which is photography, my desk job took photography away from me and now thanks for ur video i'm willing to fix that, thank you so much and keep it up.. good luck :)
Wow man your storytelling and words are so inspiring!
Great episode and enjoyed the monologue, it's good to hear how other photographers feel when thinks get tough, it makes me at least feel that when i get tired and exhausted i am not alone and it can be normal to feel at the brink of ones limit . But the important thing is that one must carry on.
Photography In A Click Thanks for the comment. You're spot on, and that's what I'm trying to convey in these videos. I'm hoping to show people what life is like on the road. Not just the good things, but the tough days too. Thanks for watching!
love your vlog style haha
The first one was the best. Good work bro !
Great video, would love to go there one day!
great Episode!
I'll visit frisco this summer!
Thank you Brendan! Keep up the great work! Enjoy your travels!
greetings form switzerland
GuyMrIncognito hoi! Thanks for watching :D
Brendan - great to catch up watching some of your vlogs. Long time no see, amigo, but it's cool to see how you're doing what you love. Keep it going, mate!
***** Thanks for checking in, buddy. What are you up to these days?
Well basically I'm back in Germany getting some editing done. But it won't be long until I'm back on the road ;)
The mon·o·logue is what makes your photography complete and interesting- sharing what it takes to be a great photgrapher.
Kahreen Abungan Thanks Kahreen!
Great Video Brendan ~ Sometimes a nap helps ~
Thank you. You are -not- now my go-to guru for the best photography spots. Please, please, please keep doing these videos. Liked and Subbed!!! (Edited to correct not to now)
+hsucks Thanks man! And thanks for subbing!
Keep it up mate!!
Thanks for this - am there this week so have been doing some research and thought Presidio was a definite possibility as well as Mackenzie Beach. Did you try around the Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Centre? That looks promising for morning light on the bridge type shots (judging from the map anyway).
I am absolutely fan of your videos, bravo :)
***** Thanks man! Means a lot!
Brendan van Son That's really amazing that you share a bit of your life with us, I mean more than "just" photography tips (which is already very nice), what I'm trying to say is that I would love more "monologues" with your gopro like this one, if possible^^. Your life makes me dream hehe, I hope I could do something a bit similar one day :)
Great video!
Thanks for watching John Petter Hagen I appreciate it!
Yes there is a trail down to the beach.
3:33 is my favourite!!!
+Jeremy Xhofleer do u know where that is?

Hi Brendan, which lenses do you regularly use? Which one is the one that appears while recording in the Golden Gate?
I found your monologue much more inspirational than the golden gate. Keep it up man. Really enjoying your channel!
OM3N1R Thanks! And, I'm glad you're enjoying the channel!
Thx👍
1:04 how to you get your photos to look like that? Do you use some type of filter? It's beautiful
How did you get to Bake Beach
I am aware with the lens you're using there is some distortion but on some of the shots towards the end id recommend making sure all of the shots has straight lines
Are you Canadian?
that Presidio park shot with the cedar trees, i was trying to find it in google maps and i couldnt find it! will you please tell me where is this presidio park? will be waiting for your reply.
+Charles Rollon Go to google maps and search for "Battery Boutelle san francisco" it's right in that exact area.
Hey, do you have the address for MacKenzie beach? I can't find it on google maps
Brandon Ho Search for Marshall Beach, it's the trail that goes down to there. Then, you need to hike along the beach towards the bridge to reach MacKenzie
Being a novice photographer…..I would have never thought to go to the west( sunset side) for a sunrise shoot. The bay side gets the am sun.
+Craig Marston Normally I wouldn't either Craig, but I had limited time and wanted to be down here at sunrise when there was likely no people. But, you're right, usually I'd try to be on the sunny side. That said, you can definitely make it work this way too, especially if the light is on your side and not in front of you.
that beach is called Baker Beach!!
***** It's not. Baker beach is farther away from the bridge. MacKenzie Beach is around a couple rocky areas closest to the bridge.
its marshall beach
I think u mean Marshall beach
I love how you changed sides of the country in a flash - 2:35 Brooklyn Bridge......but you were out of breath, so lack of Oxygen can do that at any time.....
Any chance you can sell me a picture with the Princess ship and the bridge? My nephew worked for Princess and that picture framed would make a fantastic Christmas gift.
Not sure exactly which image. But shoot me an email to brendanvanson@gmail.com I can have a look
Why the hell I cannot find the "MacKenzie beach" on google maps? The beach next to Baker Beach is called "Marshall's Beach" on google maps. And through the map, I cannot see a parking space there :(
Sorry, it's Marshall's beach. And there is a bit of parking just above it.
I checked the satellite map, do you mean parking along the street? Or there is a parking lot?
Where is the first place????
That first view of the Golden Gate Bridge is from Battery Spencer.
i was just there lsat week
and Battey spencer was blocked from the curve parking. i think you could still access it if you get dropped off from the side of the road and walk into it. many other view points were barricaded as well.
thanks though Brendan !
I now see why you wear that hat all the time :D
Hahaha
Save you some time- he doesn't really go over any spots other than to recommend Marshall beach at sunset.
