We chose Williamstown as the location for our second attempt and left homes at 3:00 am on a cold morning. We reached Williamstown by 4:00 am and had plenty of time to shoot night shots of the Melbourne's skyline, pier, and empty street views.
We positioned ourselves at the chosen locations by 5:30 am and waited for the dawn. This time we reaped the benefits of long waiting and witnessed a colourful moments of sunrise as expected. No need to say, my camera shutter activation count increased by 100 within few minutes.
