In the realm of Geekdom, I believe that I have one of the more peculiar obsessions. I enjoy getting up early in the morning, say 05:00, and looking out at the sky. If it looks very black over town, that is a promising portent. If it looks orangish, that means that there are low clouds over the peninsula and the sunrise will probably be a flop.. I go and fire up the computer and start the day's work. At 05:30, I have another look. If I can see any colour, I make my preparations for the morning's quest for The Quintessential Sequential Sunrise.
The preparations consist of the following, which must be performed in less than ten minutes: (1) get Canon G-11 and attach to cheap tripod, (2) pick the appropriate selection of neutral density and polarising filters from the filter box (3) retrieve a Fanta Orange soda from the bar fridge and slip it into a cozy, (4) grab a folding chair from the overflowing junk room, (5) check to make sure that I have my pants on, (6) stumble outside in the dark with no light (don't want to ruin my night vision), (7) sit down and wait for the action to begin. It's not that much different from going to a footie game, except for the part about pants. I'm sure that it's quite acceptable to show up at a footie game sans pants.
And, this why all the fuss. Yeah, baby, this is what I'm talkin' about: That's the moon up there in the corner. It was so dark at 05:41 that I couldn't see the controls on the camera; I had to work by feel. Fortunately, I have great hands. The shot above was a fifteen second exposure. This long exposure time has the effect of turning the water into a mirror. The town lights are very bright in comparison to the sky.
Four minutes later and I have moved to what it becoming my favourite spot. I like the way the trees frame the sky. This is still at fifteen seconds, so the water of the harbour is as shiny as mercury.
At -6:02 the sky is getting much brighter. This is when it gets fast and furious. I now have less than a ten minute window to catch the best of the sunrise: The sun is still well below the horizon, but it is beginning to light up the clouds much brighter. Note that you can barely see the lights of town. The sky is probably several hundred times brighter than it was a few minutes ago.
At 06:06 the sun's light is being broken up into beams shining between clouds near the visible horizon. This accounts for the radiating pattern of light and dark: This is only four minutes after the previous shot. We are now nearing the end of the show.
Two minutes later, at 06:08, the display it pretty much over: The colours will fade quickly now as the sunrise moves into its second phase when the shiny orb pops above the horizon.
What follows is simultaneously less visually interesting and more difficult for the photographer. As the sun rises, the saturation of the colours will become more washed out by the intensity of the light and the contrast ratio of the brightness surrounding the sun compared to the rest of the scene will overwhelm nealy any camera that an individual human can afford.
I suppose the very rich might be able to afford such cameras, but I'm sure that they have more profitable things to do with their time. Anyway, they would simply hire someone like to to do it for them.
If there are any of the very rich out there reading this (seems unlikely to me), keep in mind that I'm very serious about my art and I work cheap.
If I've hooked you on sequential sunrises, you can see more of mine here, here, and here.
That should keep you occupied until the next time the boss comes around to see what you're up to.

Sequential sunrise, beginning just past the peak and gradually diminishing. The peak is usually a relatively brief time with quickly diminishing intensity. I just missed peak intensity on this one this morning.

Sequential evidence has established that this was taken on Tuesday 26th November 1974. We are at Winterbourne, where the South Wales main line skirts north of Bristol. It was walkable from our house and I often came here, in those times, to try for a snap of the line's few, but dependable, Western-hauled workings. I probably took this to relieve the tedium of waiting for one of the Westerns to show up. The English take their pleasures sadly.
Obviously the train is one of those on the northeast-southwest cross-country service, with a destination in the Eastern Region. Peaks were the usual motive power on these trains, with the odd Brush thrown in. I noted three Peaks on this occasion. I can't see a nameplate, which rules out D53 THE ROYAL TANK REGIMENT. That leaves D27, from Leeds Holbeck, or 46 046, from Gateshead. I don't know whether any of you Peak fundamentalists might be able to give a precise identification. Would the one-piece train describer screen be the clincher?
This number 39 is for the Sequential Numbers Group here on Flickr. Aware that we needed a number 39, I drove by a storage unit place today, and crept along the parking lot hoping the units would go up to 40, and I could get my 39. Well, at first, it looked as if they wouldn't go that high. Then I spotted a 40, and thought, "Ahah! There will be a 39! I get my camera ready, and drive up to the unit between 38 and 40, and sadly, there was only a 9. The 3 had long ago fallen off. So, I go to the Heartland Humane Society, to take some cat pictures, and when I am driving back home, I see a big truck full of ears of corn going by, north on Hwy. 99W in Corvallis, Oregon. Big as life it says 39! I decide a dedicated player should turn around and go after it. I do. Usually there are some ears of corn on the road behind the truck, kind of like Hansel's trail. None when you want them. By the time I turned around, I couldn't tell if the truck continued north through town or took the cutoff East to Hwy. 34. I picked the town, because he was already coming from the countryside. I caught up with him and picked correctly. I got my picture. I went back home and noticed the traffic stuck on the cutoff, was STILL stuck on the cutoff. I had almost decided I would have a better chance of catching up with him if I took that. I am so glad I didn't. So, ears my story! Ouch, that was corny! Oh well, there is a kernel of truth to it!
For the "My Life As" group, this addresses My Life As as serious Sequential Numbers Player. ON Sept. 26, 2006 I also added this to "My Story (Pool)" and to "Pictures with Stories (Pool)".

I had to take 4 different buses to get to the Fungus Fair today. I added one person from each bus, so none of these people were actually sitting next to each other.

Sunflowers have a field life of about a week, so we plant a batch of sunflowers every week for our Pick-Your-Own flower patch. Here you can see the first batch starting to flower on the left. The small plants on the right will flower Labor Day weekend.

Chris Valenduuk and team architectural, MWD-PD.
Commissioned 1961. 112 MW for fifty years.
Now uncared for, the modern architecture was of remarkably leading design for the time. The emphasis on human values hand-in-hand with the industrial engineering, and the manipulation of scale as an architectural tool were important features of the design treatment. Care in large-scale landscaping integrated the man-made forms with the existing terrain and plant material. Eye-level windows, open balconies and walkways with an uninterrupted awareness of surrounding landscape, combined with the use of indigenous materials, produced a working architectural statement which fused technical engineering and human aspects. The architects were part of a professional multi-discipline team working in the long-term public interest. They were disbanded by short-term politicians two or three decades later. Today, buildings like Ohakuri and Huntly show sad lack of architectural care, with amateur building alterations and degredation. Irresponsible politics.

Sequentially fused the frame then proceeded with adding filler. I worked from the bottom bracket and seat tube but finished with the head tube. Things finally started to click at the last weld on the head tube / down tube junction. Still need to make some adjustments and get more bead definition. Lot's still to learn and hone! But a good start with titanium.

These headlights are shown in the stock chrome finish with no paint or carbon. They're the first of their kind, demonstrating our 32 piece PowerLED boards from exLED, running on a 7 channel sequencer from our friends at The Lighting Firm! The upgrade white LEDs from Diode Dynamics are being driven to 800mA to pump out more light than the stock pieces for better daytime visibility which look killer at night. The color of the white is a much more neutral hue, instead of the slightly yellowish weaker factory LEDs.

This Honda S2000 is the one of many custom builds with a blend of components from our favorite manufacturers, including exLED, Diode Dynamics, Morimoto, and introducing: The Lighting Firm. The center piece of this job is the amazing controller from TLF, which can be found here on our website: www.flyryde.com/collections/control-modules/products/sequ...
The module hooks up to the DRL White 5000K PowerLEDs made by exLED Korea: www.flyryde.com/collections/led-strips/products/exled-153...
When the Turn Signals are activated, the white LEDs shut off, and the Sequence for the Amber Power LEDs begins. This customer also opted for retaining the use of the original turn signal location with upgrade Power LED 7440 bulbs, for added output. The side markers also got a pair of Amber LED bulbs, as did the tail lights and License Plate lights.
To give a really unique look to the tails, and provide something special to match the moving signals in the headlights, a pair of "Brakes as Signals" modules from Diode Dynamics were installed, which make the OEM LED brake lights flash instead of an incandescent Amber Bulb. The stock bulb was replaced with the Red Power LED 7440 set from exLED, and this combination provides some really cool action depending on driver input. If the turn signals are activated by themselves, both the inner and outer circle will flash at the same time. If the brakes are applied, the inner and outer circles will alternate back and forth.
A lucky shot was had here. This was one of the few times I got a sequential bus set side by side. Sonoma County Transit Bus #224 (left) and #225 (right) are seen on two different deadheads. Both of these busses were part of the 2014 order of Eldorado National's for Sonoma County Transit.
