There are times when the majesty of colors before sunrise are just so captivating to watch.
Photographs/video taken on 22 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 56 minute time-frame. This video stitches together 94 photos starting 43 minutes before the official sunrise.
Full Video
All the photographs taken have been compiled into a 7 minute 25 second video. The photographs have not been enhanced, you see what I observed.
Music: "Symphony No. 5" by Beethoven.
One Minute 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.

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.

great video and photo of dawn, thanks for sharing
An enjoyable video of the sunrise.
Your Beethoven 5th symphony choice, in my opinion , was too aggressive - it sounded war like. In some some parts it matched, but I did not think it was overall suitable - sorry.
I know you put so much work into your Steemit blogs. I am just trying to be constructive with my opinion.
Yes, it is very hard to find royalty free music so that I do not get a copyright strike from YouTube. I try the best I can to match the video length with music that is (copyright) free from YouTube.
Thank you for you feedback. It encourages to try harder to match the sunrise with music.
Have a great weekend!
Steem on,
Mike
Maybe, others found the Beethoven 5th symphony suitable and it was just me.
Beautiful click mike sir doing perfect,👍
