USA Chrysler Building at sunrise

This spot is located within the viewing decks of SUMMIT One Vanderbilt in Manhattan. It's publicly accessible during opening hours for a fee. From time to time they also have special events for sunrise which I highly recommend to capture this beautiful view of the Chrysler Building.

I used a wide-angle lens to capture the entire scene. Make sure to bring a cover for your lens (I used a t-shirt) and frapped it around to avoid reflections because all floors of the viewing platform are surrounded by glass and indoors. You want to face East to capture the building and rising sun. It doesn't matter what floor you choose but the lowest one might be the best to capture the needle reaching the sky.

Get a sunrise access ticket if you end up in Manhattan during a sunrise event. The Building is located right next to Grand Central Station and is easy to reach from every direction.
