Taken a week ago from the highest point on Point Reyes. Canon 5D Mk II (the Mk III was on my wildlife lens, just in case). Canon 70-200 f/2.8 at 105mm. ISO 200 (should have been 100), f/11, 1/45. Tripod, mirror lockup, remote release. Cropped from the top and bottom, full width (horizontal format).
Normal adjustments in LR5, increase in contrast brought out pre-sunrise colors. I'm not sure if they should be toned down a little.
Some foreground would have been nice but the only option was some very scruffy vegetation down a steep slope (probably including poison oak) that would have been too close to focus on. Some fog was slowly forming in the mid-foreground (Tomales Bay) but the sun was up by the time it amounted to anything.
