"Phantom Sunrise" from Dawn to Blazing Sunrise - 12 February 2018 (Original Photo/Video)

in #photography7 years ago

The pre-dawn clouds were dark and ominous on the horizon. As the early morning sunlight began to touch the clouds rich dark colors appeared.

Photograph/video taken on 12 February 2018.

Phantom Sunrise

Although the clouds obscurred the rising sun they could not contain its light and burst out in an orange glow.

This photo was taken part way through the video and is the reason there is a minor jump part way through the video.

Sunrise Animated GIF

To give you an idea of what to expect in the longer video this 31 second animated GIF was created at 40 times normal speed.

"Phantom Sunrise" Video

The ominous dark start to this video reminded me of the music from the "Phantom of the Opera".

This video is 9 times normal speed. This was done to blend the sunrise with the prologue music from Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera".
