The moments of each sunrise are fleeting, the scene is always changing. This sunrise was well worth every single one of the 342 photos taken.

Photographs/video taken on 24 October 2018.

Sunrise Video

For this photo shoot I focused on the distant horizon then turned off the auto-focus and the image stabilization on my lens.

The photographs in the video cover a 52 minute time-frame. This video stitches together 342 photos starting 41 minutes before the official sunrise.

Full Video

All the photographs taken have been compiled into a 16 minute 39 second video. The photographs have not been enhanced, you see what I observed.

Music: "1812 Overture" by Tchaikosvky.

Time Lapse Video

The following animated GIF is 200x the speed of the full video.

Sunrise Photographs in Sequence

Dawn: The period of the day when light begins to appear in the sky from the sun.
Sunrise: The time when you first see the sun in the morning.

To give you an idea of the when the photographs were taken I am adding a T-time. T-0 is sunrise, T-10 is 10 minutes before sunrise, and T+5 is 5 minutes after sunrise.

This is a representative sample of the photographs in the video. The photographs have not been enhanced, you are seeing what I observed on this morning.
