An oldie.

Ironwork under the Golden Gate, as seen from Fort Point. I took this a couple of years ago with my Canon PowerShot SX200 point-and-shoot.
EDIT: I used Microsoft Digital Image Suite 10 to do the post-processing. I wish I still had that program; it didn't do as much as the Lightroom, Aperture, or Nik software but it was simple to use, and had some nice features (such as an "aged film" pre-set that I really liked).

1. Very cool, my dear Adsos Letter!

Um.......which way is up? Seriously, all those rivets and stuff...

What a puzzle!

I like it!

2. Thanks Peggy! It's one of my favorites, and a happy accident.

I was really just shooting the underside for interest's sake, not intentionally framing the girders, etc. When I looked at it later I realized I only needed to do some slight cropping to get a nice result, composition wise. I also did some work with contrast and sharpening.

Glad you like it.

3. Forgot to answer your question!

"Up" is exactly as presented.

4. That's a lot of metal.

Have you checked out Photoscape? I may have what you are looking for. It has Film Effects and Antique Photo.

6. I have some very similar color photos taken from this same spot.

In fact, I was thinking of using one for the next contest, but not if you're going to.

7. Nah, go ahead and use yours Blue.

I doubt very much that I'll enter the contest.

8. I think it's so cool that they've opened up the Presidio.

The last time we were down there we traipsed all over that park and we probably will again when we go down in September. Back in the late '60s I got in there kind of accidentally and was soon escorted out by some not--too-friendly MPs. Ooops.
