DJI Mavic Air 2, 1/60sec, f/2.8, ISO 100 [4000x3000]
Two years ago I flew my drone above the Golden Gate Bridge on a clear day and took some of my favorite photos of all time. I have an older post with those photos. I was really happy with the shots but always wondered what it would look like with some low fog on the bridge. One foggy day last summer I was able to do just that. Despite the high winds my drone held steady as I shot photos and a video of the fog passing through the bridge.
When I approached from the San Francisco side of the bridge it appeared to be completely engulfed in fog. As I got to the Marin side I had noticed an opening in the fog at the exact spot that I took my photos two years prior. I was in disbelief, fog on the bridge is common, but its normally never the way you want it to be for photos. More often then not the fog covers up the entire bridge. I have seen photos of the top of the bridge poking out of the fog, but catching that moment in real life had been elusive for me until this day.

this had to be an interesting flight. nice photos
That's for sure, I was all nerves. Having crossed the bridge hundreds of times I finally got the conditions I had always hoped for and I didn't want to mess it up. I had lost a previous drone to the bay in the past. It stopped responding to my flight commands due to some sort of radio interference and just drifted with the wind across the bay and out of radio range. It had about 10 mins of flight time left when I lost signal so I reckon it died and fell somewhere in the middle of the bay. High winds and lots of radio interference make it an unforgiving place to fly a drone, but the images you can get make me keep doing it anyway.
i flu my mini in the fog once (also it was freezing) and it went all crazy on me. fog made it think that the ground is just few meters down. And every time i tried to go down it started a lending procedure. Gave up on fog after that.
Photos you got are great.

Amazing shots. I would love to see that in the fog; hope to sail in one day ;-)
That would definitely be the best way to go to the San Francisco Bay
