The imposing, weathered concrete walls of the Cellhouse atop the island offer a stark reminder of Alcatraz’s isolation, surrounded by water and fog.
As the ferry pulls away from the city, capture sweeping views of the San Francisco skyline—especially striking during golden hour or when the buildings are shrouded in morning fog.
Capture the full layout of the island from above—the Cellhouse, parade grounds, and cliffs all come into view in one dramatic overhead shot.
