Stop-Motion Sunrise

View Category Earlier this week I made the most of my insomnia by impulsively buying and trying out a stop-motion app on my iPhone.  (Stop Motion Studio, available as paid, free, or iPad versions in the iTunes App Store.)  I set my phone in my window and shot movies of the sunrise.  The first one, from Tuesday morning, is probably the best, with the sun showing up behind the pear tree.  Unfortunately my phone’s battery ran out after an hour, before the sun emerged from behind the tree.

    I had trouble with the second one, Wednesday, losing crucial footage when the phone fell off the window sill—twice.  I don’t have a tripod and made do by stabilizing the phone with scotch tape.  I missed the actual sunrise and instead recorded time-lapse footage of the clouds.

    I tried to make up for it on Thursday by getting up an hour earlier ... only to wind up with no visible sunrise.  It was so overcast all I was able to record was the sky growing lighter.
