Low Fog Timelapses | San Francisco Landscape Photography Vlog
In this video I capture Karl The Fog. Foggy timelapse shots above San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. I also shoot some long exposure landscape photography. Most of these scenes were captured up at the Marin Headlands, a super popular place to get above the fog and see sweeping views of the bay. This is just one of many Fog Vlogs I will be putting out this year so stay tuned for more! :)

Holy crap Michael, why aren't you doing this full time...? You are a master at timelapses photography. Patience is a virtue. Great work.

Thanks so much Max, although I am full time. :)
Crazy good at stills, timelapses, vlogging... you're just one of the best all-around creatives on the planet.
The Headlands is also one of my favorite places to photograph; so many great options.
Great timelapse Michael!!! Thanks for sharing

Man, I really can't tell you how much I appreciated this video. I've been feeling so burnt out and uncreative lately and something here just kinda sparked it for me. Thank you.
Your timelapses are so beautiful! They're are already too good and you find these perfect soundtracks to go with. Kudos!
I grew up in Marin. I spent many hours hiking and biking the ridge tops and Mt. Tam. I loved watching the fog roll over the ridge. Thanks for the memory refresh!
Very cool. Great rec. On the salt and vinegar almonds. I'm a big wasabi fan, but these are good as well.

Great work. My favorite memory for fog: riding my motorcycle south to the Bridge with the fog rolling in looking like a giant claw curled making a tunnel. Then I had to ride through this mystical trail before being engulfed.
Fantastic.
Fantastic video. I was out in the Marin Headlands this past weekend and had fog above me to work with. I’m inspired to go out again (and again) to get above the fog.
good job Michael
I thought the previous fog video i watched was the most epic and then i see this one and just am blown away
Superb as usual!
You are simply the best.

Fantastic time lapses. Stunning
The fog chase never gets old. Great share!
Absolutely gorgeous footage. Thanks for sharing this Vlog, Michael.
Awesome
Love the feels of the timelapse.🙌🏻
those clouds have a life in them ... like breathing; great video ... like your San Diego time-lapse
Amazing video and shots! Love the vibe of the fogged up city.

Great VLOG Michael! I learned a lot and was reminded of some great lessons. I've never been bummed that I went out to shoot after sitting on my couch debating my options. You really show how to not take these sights & ability to capture them for granted. Even though you'd been at this location before, your enthusiasm helped get us viewers into the video.

Gotta get up there next summer. Can't believe I have lived in the Bay Area all my life and never knew about that high point spot. Do you ever do workshops up there. I would love to learn how you make those time lapse videos. Met you briefly at Out of Oregon last year.

Man these timelapses are damn spectacular! (just like all of yours :D ) I'm also a big fan of low clouds.. but with mountains around :D would love to shoot from there one day tho!
Your timelapse photography is amazing, Mike! I always enjoy your work. I've shot the Bridge from up there in the fog before and was struggling badly with Foggy Lens Syndrome (FLS). Do you find anti-fog lens cleaners to be useful for these situations? Haven't been in the fog since, so haven't had a chance to try it out.

Hey there Richard, the view point is just right above the parking lot of hawk hill. Very nice spot to catch the classic view of the GGB.
I see you’re with Toby in this one, but how often do you go out alone? I used to go out all throughout the city alone most of the time. I’ve even made that middle-of-the-night Slacker Hill hike a number of times. You always hear the stories of people being held up for their gear. Have you ever encountered that?

David Helling I am alone most of the time, but not in the city. The headlands are fine for the most part. It’s treasure islands and areas of the city that have issues.
Rename it to chasing Karl or surfing with Karl :3
Sorry to ask, but where did you get that view at 5:25 from San Francisco? Beautiful capture! Thanks in advance.
Super nice video, just wanna know where is the first location in video? It seems higher than battery spencer, thanks!

Hi Michael, I would like to ask you - do you also use manual ramping when shooting Holy grail timelapses? I have seen you using Av mode a lot in your videos for scenes with changing light and M mode for more stable scenes (most of the time if I am not completely mistaken). Thank you :)
It was so foggy that three people couldn't see that it's not the like button
I am addicted to photography..........Been a while since beeen out.............. Getting the side affects now...........I neeeed that shoot NOW...... Need a new perspective...........The old one does not cut it anymore........
I miss living in the Bay Area.
Do you always do interval timer mode when shooting time lapse, do you also just use time lapse mode or does it depend on lighting ? I rock a Z7 if that matters much.
Wonderful! Any issues with condensation on the lenses?

Hey Hasan! Just one cent from me, hoya have a special filter to reduce light pollution it will not reduce all but will decrease for maybe 10-30 %. Why you can't get your can and drive away from the cities? hoyafilterusa.com/products/hoya-intensifier

Best to drive away from the light pollution into the desert. Not quite sure the logistics of crossing borders over there or the safety of being out in the desert in that region. You would have to do a bit of research.
Any reason for the black tape over the 14-24 lens cap?
