How time flies. It seems just yesterday that I started this weekend series which I titled, “When Not Shooting Macro…”. This is a series, a Sunday Special if you like the term, where I post pictures other than close-ups photograhs.

Last Sunday it was “When Not Shooting Macro, I Shoot The Sky“. This time, it would be “I Shoot The Rising Sun”.

The six pictures here — posted in chronological order — are from about 20 photographs I took of a sunrise with the Canon PowerShot G6’s intervalometer set to shoot within a minute interval.

I mounted the camera on a tripod, set the dial to programme, ISO at 50 and the number of shots to 20. Then I just left the camera by the window, shooting obediently once in every 60 seconds for 20 minutes.

If you like the photos, you can download and view them, preferably as slide show so that you can see the dramatic birth of daytime. Refer to this blog’s Terms of Use if you intend to use these pictures other than for personal viewing.

There air was still at that time, but if if you view the picture in rapid succession, you’d notice the tree stirring, as though breathing like a living being.
