Time

Sunrise

Lighting

Nikon D800 and 17-35mm f/2.8. Gitzo tripod and wireless shutter release.

Nikon D800, a true workhorse. Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8, Nikon 50mm f/1.8 (opted not to get the faster lenses because the f/1.8 has a minimum aperture of f/22) and Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR, polarizers for each, 2-stop soft and hard edge split ND filters, wireless shutter release.

Feedback
