"My Favorite Sunrise" of 2018 to date - 18 February 2018 (Original Photo/Video)

in #photography7 years ago

This sunrise is so splendid that it is my favorite sunrise of 2018 to date. I did not get a video of it, but took individual snapshots as it unfolded before me.

I did take the compilation of snapshots and create a slide show.

Photograph/video taken on 18 February 2018.

"My Favorite Sunrise" Slide Show

The entire sky was full of color. To capute all the splendor I switched to my Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom lens.

Here is the slide show of this colorful and magnificent sunrise.

The music during the slide show is "End of an Era" by Kevin MacLeod.

"My Favorite Sunrise" Snapshot by Snapshot

The sunrise is moving further and further to the east each day. I am at the limit of being able to photograph the sunrise from this window. It is difficult to keep the windows I need to switch to clean.

Each photo had to be individually cropped to cut out the frame of the window I was shooting through. Here is a raw snapshot before it was cropped. You can see the window frame in the upper left-hand corner.

i just cant off my eyes from it its so beautiful i love mornings and sun rising the beautiful feeling you gat at that time so wonderful

Every week you photographed this awesoms red and blue sun rise, it is really amazing...
These photographs depict your lot of effort and creativity behind it...
Lovely... Keep on doing this awesome work...

It is getting harder and harder to record them through my clean window. The season has now turned to the time when the windows are continually being spotted by rain drops. I do not want to have low quality photos or videos because of dirty windows.

I think I have one more sunrise in the can (file) ready for processing.

The weather will stabilize again and allow me to record sunrises again. However, they will be from a totally different angle.

Have a great week and thank you for your support!

Good morning @etcmike
The sunrise photos are amazing. . . . . I haven’t seen such views ever coz I wake up late. . .lol
Thanks for sharing beautiful shots of nature
Have a Good day . . Stay blessed

The sunrises here in the northern hemisphere are earlier and earlier each day. It is getting to the point where it is hard for me to wake up for them too :)

Have a wonderful week!
Steem on,
Mike

There's a sunrise and a sunset every single day and they are absolutely free. Don't miss one of them.

Friend @etcmike apart from the wonderful work you do in your project with the birds, you take some very nice photographs, which placed in the video with that background music, allow me to enjoy a moment of relaxation. Best regards.

Thank you! I really appreciate your compliment!

It is always a challenge to find the right music and match it with the length of the video. It takes time, but is very rewarding.

Have a great week!
