Rain was in the forecast on this day. I woke up right at sunrise to check if there was a chance for a good photo shoot. When I saw the break in the clouds I hoped for some good pictures before the dark clouds rolled in.
Photographs taken on 26 August 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. I used a high f-stop to keep both the foreground and background in sharp focus.
The photographs in the video cover a 26 minute time-frame. The video starts 6 minutes after the official sunrise time.
Full Video
All the photographs taken have been compiled into a short 6 minute 59 second video. The photographs have not been enhanced, you see what I observed.
Music: "Symphony No. 5" by Beethoven.
Time Lapse 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.
