The waves lapped against the side of the boat as I stood in the misty gray of San Francisco Bay, my eyes locked on the iconic Bay Bridge ahead. I had always dreamed of capturing it from this unique angle, with downtown San Francisco rising behind it. But today wasn’t easy. Light rain drizzled from the overcast sky, and the boat rocked in the choppy waters, making it hard to keep steady. Still, I wasn’t about to give up. I was determined to get the shot, no matter the obstacles.
The sharp scent of saltwater filled the air, mixing with the faint smell of diesel from the boat’s engine. Seagulls cried overhead, their sounds almost drowned out by the hum of distant traffic on the bridge. The city skyline peeked through the mist, its towers disappearing into the low-hanging clouds. I could feel the cold drizzle on my face, and the wind was starting to pick up, sending shivers through me.
Balancing my camera, I steadied myself against the boat’s railing. The rain had been light so far, but I knew it could turn worse at any moment. Every second I hesitated, the risk of losing this shot increased. My fingers were cold, stiff from gripping the camera, but I adjusted the lens and composed the frame—the massive Bay Bridge arcing gracefully across the bay, with the city’s skyscrapers standing like silent sentinels behind it.
Just as I began to focus, the rain suddenly intensified. Water droplets splashed on the lens, blurring the image. My heart raced—I had to act fast or the moment would be lost. Thankfully, the rain stopped briefly, and I snapped the shot.
The rain poured down afterward, but I didn’t care. I had done it. The bridge, the bay, the city—all captured. It was a dream come true, photographing the Bay Bridge from the heart of the water.
