Zeiss 85mm f1.4 Lens mounted on a Canon 5D Mark III camera

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.

unfiltered two

zeiss 85mm f1.4 lens

This is the second photo in the ‘unfiltered’ series which was taken about 30 seconds after the first photo.

This shot was taken with a Zeiss 85mm f1.4 lens stopped down to f/5.6. I love how different the perspective is compared to the first image, how the sky seems to have opened up into this incredibly expansive horizon. The brighter colors became brighter, and the darker colors became darker for a fleeting second until this scene passed into a full on sunrise that was actually far less interesting. 

I think my favorite feeling in all of photography is capturing a moment that you know you will never have another chance to capture, and this was one of those.
