I'm going to Seattle in about 2 weeks and bringing my D610 for some travel photography. Wanted to get a night or sunrise shot of the Seattle Skyline and will try Kerry Park as my first vantage point. If anyone has shot from this location before, what focal length do I need?

I'll have a 28-300mm, 50mm 1.4, and 16-35mm, but I'm assuming it's going to be one of the first two lenses I just listed.

Also, any other vantage points that won't be as crowded?

take them all. I would start with the 16-35mm. If you have a flickr account check kerry park and look at the data to help in your lens selection. Kerry park is very popular for events and gets crowded. You can check with the seattle parks dept
to see if an event is scheduled. Google has kerry park pictures, may need more work to find lens data.

I'd like to get a few shots of downtown with a reflection off the water. I'll have to look at Google Maps to figure a good location.
