A professional and amateur’s photographer’s portfolio is arguably incomplete with their take on the Golden Gate Bridge. We’ve outlined some of the best spots to take pictures of one of the most iconic structures in the world, the Golden Gate Bridge.

some of the best shots I've seen to date were taken from a helicopter.

I have missed all of them. Lol.

lol... they missed in my opinion the 2 BEST spots. I think they are saving that info for themselves.

Those are great vantage points, but they missed this one.

As a local, I would say that they hit most of them. I'd add Kirby Cove. Honestly, depending on the time of day/night, conditions of the weather, presence of fog, type of lenses, etc., etc., etc., just about anywhere you can see the GGB can be the best place to take a picture of it. While I've not shot the two southern San Francisco Bay bridges, I have to say that all of them (there are about 9 major ones) can be wonderful subjects for photography. The GGB is of course, as iconic as the Eiffel Tower, the Sydney Bridge, etc., etc., etc. Again, as a local, I do shoot it about once a year or so but if you are a visitor to the San Francisco Bay Area, that guide is more than adequate.

Here is one of my favorites taken from Battery Spencer

You weren't supposed to mention that one or the other place... Don't need hundreds of photogs crowding our secret spots...

Um...the secret is out long ago. As you may know, the better spots are the hardest ones to get to.

I would say that's a good thing if they are all Pentaxians.
