Shooting at Dawn

Set an alarm. Be out before 6am. The streets are empty or nearly so. The light is soft and low. The people who are out at that hour - cleaners, delivery drivers, early commuters, the night's last stragglers - are not the same people as the afternoon crowd.

Camera Settings

ISO 800–3200 before sunrise. Drop it fast as light increases.
