As first light revealed the scene, I positioned my composition to capture the bridge alongside harbor lights in cool pre-dawn blues. The image was already strong, but experience told me to wait.
These moments require both recognition and readiness. Within seconds, I was set up to capture what I knew would be briefโthat instant when rising sun broke through a narrow gap in clouds, bathing the scene in dramatic light.
