And so we reach the final sunrise of the seven - this one had a lovely watery light:

So that's the seven "Unguided" sunrises for people to enjoy just the sight and sounds of nature. Next, I'll be using them as the bed for seven morning meditations. Watch this space!

And so we move on to Sunrise 6 of 7 - this was the first sunrise with no cloud on the horizon so we had the delight of seeing the sun rise exactly on time as it rose out of the ocean!

This was a busy day with at least 3 other people and a couple of dogs on the beach - crazy busy!!! Had to wait for the sun to make an appearance above the clouds but it was quite dramatic!

Our Seventh and last sunrise recording for this series. Today was a calm, less spectacular sunrise than yesterday. It has a much more watery light but the clouds were on hand to add the drama. Marvin can now have a lay-in tomorrow!

10/03/2024

So this was the 6th recorded sunrise - and the first and only one where we get to watch the sun appear on the horizon out of the ocean! Fortunately, the clouds were also out and about which always adds more drama.

Seven Sunsets at Magenta Beach - Day 1: wind and cloud

Here it is, the first 360 sunset. Once I've captured all seven, I'll make each one into a version with a meditation/mindfulness narration. Should be interesting to see if this idea resonates with the VR world! But, in the meantime, if you just want to sit and watch a sunrise whenever you feel like it, click below! I've set this one to music as the wind was blowing too hard on the ambisonic microphone for that audio to be enticing. Enjoy!

5th Sunrise in a row, fourth successful 360 3D video capture. Today was the "Day of the Seagulls" - the camera seemed to be on their morning highway with one of them having a damned good think about landing on the top at one point. Should make for an interesting moment on the video!

07/03/2024

Up early for my fourth sunrise in a row and it was another stunning one. The waves were gentler and there was less cloud but it still put on quite a show. It seemed darker on my walk to the beach, which didn’t make sense, so it was quite a challenge negotiating my spider friend’s web!

05/03/2024

Success today. A lovely sunrise was captured with the camera behaving perfectly.

I did discover one downside to these early starts - being the first person to walk through the bush to the beach and encountering the eight-legged house-builders' webs with your face! The only other slight problem was the "shark food volunteer" wandering by at the beginning of the recording as he checked out the morning surf break - which did look pretty good today with some lovely curling waves.

So a disaster on the Seven Sunrises project this morning. It was an absolutely stunning sunrise but my camera was having a hissy fit and the only thing I could get it to do was record this one photo! I've been resetting and conducting tests since and it should be fine for tomorrow - fingers crossed - but I'm gutted to have missed such a stunning sunrise! Technology, GRRRR!

I thought I'd try something new for the SitAwhile360 channel this week. I'm intending to record seven sunrises in a row in 360 3D from roughly the same spot on the beach. The rain was threatening to spoil the first recording but held off until I was heading home. It made for a nice moody start to the series though. The wind was howling hard so this one will need an ambient music track.

Stand-by for the finished video and tomorrow's update!
