On this morning there were thick clouds on the horizon. The color was already in the clouds. I quickly setup and started taking photos. When the colors faded, I kept taking photos in hopes of seeing the sun through the clouds.

The forest fires in the western United States are adding to the red tint of the morning sunrises.

Photographs taken on 19 August 2018.

Sunrise Video

As the photographs were stitched together into this video, I noticed a slight shift from one frame to the next. The photographs in the video cover a 38 minute time-frame.

All the photographs taken have been compiled into a short 2 minute 4 second video. Music: "Acoustic Symphony" by Hanu Dixit.

Dawn to 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.

When I think about how wonderful it is to capture these moments, I often realize how little I had to do with making these wonderful moments. For I am just the guy behind the camera.
