the san francisco golden gate bridge is shown in red and blue colors, as well as an orange background

I wandered into my radio program halfway through a segment this morning, and was so titillated I had to research further. Guess what color the Golden Gate Bridge is?It’s International Orange, and by another name it looks like the Vermilion I use in watercolors, or warm red*. Bridge architect Irving Morrow was inspired to use this color by the red metal primer used to seal the bridge, and this innovation was considered daring as bridges up until that point were painted grey or silver.

| Website/Prints | I got up early on my 2nd morning in San Francisco to shoot the Golden Gate Bridge from Fort Baker on the Marin side of the bridge. I used a Cokin ND8 grad filter + a Tiffen .9 ND Grad filter to block enough light to achieve a 25 second exposure for the smooth water effect.
