Stunning B&W of an enormous morning sun blaring through the clouds as a distant bird flies by in silhouette. The dreamy lines of this image would make a wonderful canvas piece, and especially so with it’s two sister images in the sunrise series collection. All four photos were taken with a Zeiss 135mm f2 Apo Sonnar lens in the very early morning.

I’m amazed almost every day with the colors the sun throws into the sky on its way up in the morning, and I’m equally amazed at how many different sunrises there are! Some are aggressive and bold like unfiltered. Some are calm and expansive like creation. And some of are like a watercolor painting, like this one.
I took this with an 85mm Carl Zeiss lens with the aperture set to f/5.6.

Crisp, clear winter mornings bring on some of the most stunning sunrises imaginable, and not only do you have to get up early enough to see them, but you only have about 20-30 seconds to capture each stage of it’s evolution.
This photo is the first of a two part mini-series, each part taken with a different lens for a different perspective at a different stage of the sunrise. I had to use two cameras to get these shots because the colors were changing so rapidly that I didn’t have time to switch my lenses. And as most of you know by now, I am a prime manual focus shooter, so time is truly of the essence.
I’m all about capturing pure moments with my photography, and I despise photo filters, so this series of sunrises is ‘unfiltered‘. Both are straight out of the camera with no processing or filters of any kind. ‘unfiltered one’ was taken with a Zeiss 135mm f2 apo sonnar manual focus lens with the aperture set to f/5.6 and -2/3 EV. This lens renders colors so beautifully… you can almost feel them, and I know that sounds cheesy, but it’s true.
