Dawn and Golden Hour

This is what I set out to do two weeks ago, but the fog had other ideas.

I got to Downtown and the West End Overlook about an hour before sunrise, or the start of dawn. TIL there's three different dawns. I'm starting to take photos at the beginning of 'astronomical dawn.'

This one is wallpapered for your enjoyment.

And a few more. I swapped out between the 28-70mm f/2.8D and the 80-200mm f/2.8D here. I decided today's challenge would be to level the camera, keep the fountain center of the shot, and compose just wit the zoom.

Moving on to the Duquesne Incline overlook as dawn shifts to sunrise and the beginning of the Golden Hour. The 80-200mm lens isn't all that viable if I want to get the traditional DOWNTOWN shot. These are all the 28-70mm.

Again, camera is level, composing with just zoom and pan.

As previously, the autofocus started misbehaving again. I may need to have that lens serviced. So this last one at this spot is with the nifty 50mm f/1.8D.

FYI: everything to this point has been on the tripod at aperture priority f/5.6, ISO 200.

And finally, I move to the Grandview Ave. overlook. I've got the 80-200mm back on, and gone freehand at f/2.8, auto ISO with a minimum shutter speed of 1/125. That's about as slow as my 55 year old hands can do without camera shake. We're now well into Golden Hour.

The hardest part is it's an hour's drive each way to get here. So I spend more time traveling than I do taking the shots.

And the traditional shoutout to @sirfrogsworth for the inspiration.
