There are times when I am mesmerized by the breaking dawn and times when I am just in awe watching the sunrise. This sunrise has it all.
Photographs/video taken on 24 December 2019.
Sunrise Video
For this photo shoot I focused on the distant horizon then turned off the auto-focus, but forgot to turn off the image stabilization on my lens. I strongly suspect that the image stabilization is causing the slight movements seen in the video. I used the shake reduction feature of my editing software to remove as much as possible, but it did not fix all of it.
The photographs in the video cover a 43 minute time-frame. This video stitches together 174 photos starting 34 minutes before the official sunrise.

All the photographs taken have been compiled into a 14 minute 51 second video. The photographs have not been enhanced, you see what I observed.
Music: "1812 Overture" by Tchaikosvky.

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.
