SF Photo Guide is the field companion for photographing San Francisco — built by a photographer to answer the questions a map can't: where exactly do you stand, when is the light right, and is the fog about to ruin your shot? 38 hand-picked locations, from the classic Golden Gate overlooks to quiet corners most guides miss — each with the exact spot, the best time to shoot it, how to get there, and what to bring. WHERE TO STAND Every location is scouted and pinned. Get directions straight to the exact vantage point — no more circling the block hoping you're in the right place. WHEN TO GO See today's sunrise, sunset, and golden-hour windows for each spot, so you show up when the light is doing the work for you. CHECK THE SKY FIRST San Francisco lives and dies by the fog. Live weather plus a dedicated Cams tab — public cameras around the Bay, from Sutro Tower to the coast — let you see current conditions before you leave home, so you don't drive across town for a wall of gray. BROWSE YOUR WAY • Explore by area — six regions, from the Marin Headlands to the East Bay • Scan the full map of every location • Sort the list by what's closest to you, or filter by the best light • Check every live camera in one place EVERY SPOT INCLUDES • The exact location and directions • Best time of day and light • What to bring — lens, tripod, filters • Notes on access, parking, and what to expect One-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no account required. Made by Derick Daily, a San Francisco photographer and creative director. Half of photography is knowing where to stand — this guide saves you the scouting so you can focus on the shot. Grab your camera. The City's waiting.
