Sunset is something I've photographed a few times. It's pretty but gets boring after a while (trying to think of new angles and methods to photography a sunset for a while already but I'm not really good enough to come up with any so far). Therefore, I went for a change and photographed sunrise instead.
I must say that a gradual neutral density filter is really useful even applied only in post editing.
This series of photos also serves as an interesting documentation of the process of sunrise in a cloudy day, the transformation of the sky and surroundings.
This is still night time before sunrise with little to no light. Long exposure led to a generally yellow/orange hue.
Sky itself appears to be blue though.
As time goes by, sun is approaching horizon. Clouds become even more yellow while sky remains blue.
Sky cleared up a little but still cloudy. Clouds become even more orange and the environment has become brighter.
Sun is rising. Blue of the sky is becoming more pronounce now with low clouds maintain orange hue.
Sun has gained a little altitude with respect to horizon. Some clouds are red while the higher clouds (previously thought they were patches of clear sky) appear blue.
Sunrise is more or less complete. Cloudy sky is completely blue now with a patch of clear sky (appear largely white) in the distance.
Oh and some test pictures from my new (old) 55mm Color Ultron.
