Stephen Chastain
Camera used: FujiFilm FinePix XP70.
Alterations: Used Adope Photoshop Express to adjust exposure and highlights brightness to decrease the size of the lens flare and slightly bring out the darker buildings in the background.
Where: I took this photo from the National Park Service's ferry from the San Francisco embarcadero to visit Alcatraz Island. This was off the stern of the ship looking back south-southwest towards the downtown San Francisco skyline. When: This was from a noontime ferry trip to Alcatraz on 16 December, 2016. I was in San Francisco to attend an academic conference and decided to get some sightseeing done in my free time. Why: I loved the way the bright sunlight brought out the colors of the flag billowing overhead with the city skyline in the distance.
