When you go to Seattle, go to Kerry Park [211 W Highland Dr, 98119] at sunset to get some great photos. I arrived early and shot the picture above with my Nikon D750.

Now you need to hang out till about 20 minutes after sunset; if you do, then it is with the wait.

I recommend bringing a tripod and a lens around the 100 – 150mm range. The 70-200mm works excellent, and I used it and the 28-300mm lens.

The clouds covered Mount Rainier this night, but the city looked marvelous.

Here are some photos shot with the Nikon D4 and the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG APO OS HSM.

You may have a better night than I when you shoot the Seattle Skyline. Perhaps you will see Mount Rainier.
