If I’m ever looking to get an epic sunrise shot close to home – I now know where to go and that’s in West Orange New Jersey @ the Eagle Rock September 11 Memorial.

I’ve been wanting to shoot this spot during sunrise for a while – but the hardest thing is getting up at 4am. Since I had my nephew with me and the Skyfire app said there was over a 95% chance of a fiery sky – I figured why not give it a shot and film a behind the scenes video.

In case you’d like to see the photos at your own pace here you go!
