Global Eye: San Francisco

| Comments (4)

Photo: Palace of Fine Arts

Photographer: Vahid Jahed, from Minden, Nevada.

Getting the Shot: The photo was taken at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco in 2006. I wanted to take some night photos there. A few swans, accustomed to being fed, approached me and one actually pecked at my camera as it was sitting at the water's edge.

The Details: I used long exposure to capture the background and the built-in flash to capture the swan.

We like the way that Vahid managed to make a make a traditional landmark shot unique. Think your own picture is good enough for Global Eye? Add your photos to our Flickr pool.

Hello
I am writing you from www.compulsivetraveler.tv, we are a website
publishing video content on the web and focusing in travel.
We are a new website however, Compulsive Traveler as a TV series we
have produced for over ten years and have aired on CBS and the Travel
Channel.
I would like to talk with someone from Change to open a
dialog to work together in a content partnership.
We feature some great video from around the world, and would like to
work with you to use them in order to promote the destinations you are
promoting.
Our programmers have designed the process of integrating
our video content very simple, and I would like to discuss with you
how you can use our videos to enhance what you are promoting.
Hope to talk to you soon.
Thank You

I am so jealous! That swan photo, albeit simple, is so wonderful! Thank you for sharing it and for telling us what happened as it was taken. I'm always open to smiles and giggles.

Thank you for an amazing Picture. I myself likes to shot but I don't think I would ever be that good.
