Usually I'm not a morning person but strange things happen when I travel. I got up at 06:30, packed my camera bag and went for a walk. Later during the day the city is crowded with tourists but at this time the streets are empty and you can enjoy some alone time. Another advantage: the morning light is truly beautiful. The clouds and fog you see here are long gone in about an hour. As the light changes the whole look of the city changes as well. Take a look at the photos below and you will see what I mean.
At the end of this post you will find my gear and camera settings.
