Sutro Baths, San Francisco, November 2017

February 02, 2018 in photographs

Camera and Lens: Bronica SQ-Ai, Zenzanon PS 150mm f/4
Film stock: Ilford HP5+
Exposure: 800
Developer: Ilfotech HC

Point Lobos and the Sutro Baths are a pretty cool spot to visit in San Francisco. But please do so early in the morning, on a weekday if possible. I tried to go there for sunset and it was impossible to find a place where to park the car.

But the day I took this photo, I got there before noon after photographing the Golden Gate and the Fisherman's Wharf. Granted, there were already a few people, but no crowds. This is why I was able to set up my camera a few times and take a few long exposures of this beautiful place.

In this photo, you are seeing the "pond" that is part of the baths, the wall that seaparates it from the ocean -with some birds on it- and a couple rocks being hit by waves.
