## Quick answer

To capture the Golden Gate Bridge in fog, use a tripod and slow shutter speed to convey the misty atmosphere.

## Detailed answer

The Golden Gate Bridge is particularly photogenic in fog. To capture its mystique, use a tripod to stabilize your camera, and a slow shutter speed (around 1-2 seconds) to create a sense of movement in the fog. Shoot from viewpoints like Battery Spencer or Hawk Hill for dramatic compositions. Consider using a polarizing filter to reduce glare and enhance the bridge's colors.
