Don't Know Where

When you don't know where to start, the beginning is usually the right place.  This was 51 minutes before sunrise.  This is when I put the camera on a tripod, set the exposure for 30 seconds and let the scene bracket itself — the exposure gradually increasing as the Sun slowly lights up the sky more and more.  I hadn't even put the graduated neutral-density filter on yet.  

When you get this kind of color, this early, it's almost a lock that it will be a great sunrise.  It was.
