File:The Sun Rises over a Black Sky.webm

English: A continuation of the mini-series on sunrises. Here, I used the lowest iso and highest f-stop to capture as dark a scene as possible, but it did little to dim the Sun, which still appears as a white-hot sphere of light. We also see some lens effects (or aberrations): lens flare, lens distortion, and—this one is entirely my fault—some dust on the lens. In the shot itself, we just see the Sun's slow movement up the morning sky. Meanwhile, over the course of the video, the Sun is accompanied by birds and flying insects, their silhouettes caught in front of the yellow light encircling the Sun. At 02:18 is when my favourite silhouette comes into frame: an airliner crossing the bottom quarter of the Sun. I never saw it while recording, so it's quite amazing to see it now, traversing across the plane of the star and briefly drowned by its light.
