Nacreous Sunrise

On one of the last days of July we, at Palmer Station, were treated to a stunningly gorgeous sunrise. We had nacreous clouds in the sky a few degrees above the horizon line and as the sun rose that morning it reflected off of them with an orange and pink brilliance that is indescribable. I captured 38 minutes of this glorious sunrise on video, but the image quality of the resultant footage was disappointingly soft. I came up with a creative idea the other day and decided to use the footage of that sunrise in the project.

The result – perhaps a bit creepy, perhaps not…it was a fun project. Here’s a 2-minute version of a 38-minute sunrise “through my eye” What do you think?
