A compilation of my favourite photos. This lets me display them in a format where I can control the compression and display images larger than Instagram. All photos are taken with a micro four thirds sensor unless otherwise specified. This means a focal length of 45mm here is equivalent to 90mm on a full-frame camera. I threw this website together quite fast as a proof of concept. (It is only designed to be displayed on a 1440px wide viewport with a bright 2x pixel density display as a consequence of this.) Lemme know what you think of the format or photos — me@emilyhorsman.com

(#10) Opportunistic shot of flora from Golden Gate Park on the way back from the California Academy of Sciences!

(#9) A mixed view of the Presidio and Pacific Heights. Taken in the Presidio roughly around Inspiration Point.

(#8) A neighbourhood look from Twin Peaks. I like to go for a “Sim City” saturation aesthetic with many of these San Francisco shots.

(#6) An early morning look from Noe Valley towards the San Francisco Bay. One of the last. I wouldn’t normally shoot into the sun like this but the morning fog and haze diffused it sufficiently.

(#5) A nighttime skyline of San Francisco from Noe Valley. The Salesforce Tower had some weird things going on for Halloween. You can make out part of the SFMOMA building to the left of Salesforce Tower.

(#3) Sutro Tower from Kite Hill. This is a bit on the nose for my tastes but it was fun to get the alignment just so. It was windy on Kite Hill that day, even for San Francisco.

(#2) Sutro Tower from Noe Valley. I think the composition would be stronger if I had placed the tower on the right side of the image.

(#14) From the California Academy of Sciences’ butterfly exhibit! I have many more but this one was my favourite for its colour.

(#13) Tomás Saraceno's “Stillness in Motion” at SFMOMA. This is the only museum photo you’ll find in my favourites.

(#12) Pai Mu Tan. Maybe my favourite tea? I don’t think many people liked this shot but I like its minimalism. I think also an experiment with focus stacking and flash photography?

May 2018. 45mm f/5 1/200s ISO 200 (#15) El Capitan from Tunnel View in Yosemite. It might be the Tunnel View photo but it is prohibited by law not take this photo regardless of the quality of light. Stitched from three photos.

May 2018. 45mm f/4.5 1/2500s ISO 200 (#16) Half Dome! The light was not outstanding at the time so unfortunately I cannot say the B&W choice was highly intentional. Nonetheless, I like the drama. Let’s say the lack of colour contrasts with Vernal Falls in the image to the right.

May 2018. 25mm f/4.5 1/800s ISO 200 (#17) Vernal Falls in Yosemite. It was difficult to change lenses around here with all the mist.

May 2018. 45mm f/5.6 1/500s ISO 200 (#18) From the first day at Yosemite.

May 2018. 74mm f/6.3 1/400s ISO 200 (#19) Looking down a waterfall in Yosemite.

(#21) May 2018. 12mm 1/250s ISO 200

May 2018. 45mm f/7.1 1/400s ISO 200 (#20) Mirror Lake (above and left). One of my favourite spots for photography in Yosemite. I really like the striations in the rocks around here and the stillness of the water lives up to its name.

May 2018. 25mm f/5 1/400s ISO 200 (#22) I believe this is looking away from the classic Tunnel View shot?
