Luck

I'm mainly a food photographer, but do some landscape stuff on the side. Last summer I was hired to cover the food and drinks on a local "booze cruise" that goes around the San Francisco Bay, and the weather happened to be perfect that evening. If anyone is familiar with SF, you know that it's rare to have conditions like this (it's almost always foggy), and as we were on our way back to the Port of Oakland, I turned around and got this shot of the Bay Bridge with the pelicans flying by, some cool clouds and fog rolling in from the ocean, and the city and a bit of the Golden Gate Bridge underneath.
