Best street Intersections to take pictures in San Francisco

What street intersections are great point for getting pictures of San Francisco to catch the interesting angles and backdrops of streets sloping and curving downhill/looking uphill? Thanks for any specific street intersections/corners.

I can’t think of specific intersections, but I’d explore Pacific Heights on the bay side.

IMO, #1 would be California & Powell.
Then...
• California & Mason
• Lombard & Hyde (down), and Lombard & Leavenworth (up)
• Broadway & Steiner or Broadway & Divisadero
• Marina Green
• Bay Bridge inbound after Treasure Island
• Golden Gate Bridge inbound
• Sausalito or Tiburon especially at night
squeakr, dhuey and asynja like this.

Get away from the typical tourist shots. Anything in Bernal Heights. Check out Gold Mine Drive. Anywhere in Potrero Hill.

Check out 22nd between Church and Sanchez, both from the bottom and from the top. The block is "one way" downhill. Drive it very very carefully.

Whilst not a street intersection, there are some very decent shots of the city skyline looking across the water from Treasure Island - either car or MUNI bus will get you there, exit off the Bay Bridge.
