An hour before got back to the street and used my 55- 250 mm and using the TPE app lined up a few degrees to the left for sun altitude to reach the height of the flame (sunrise is the first sliver of light above the horizon) with the horizon being the base of the trees. As the sunrises also the center frame of a three frame HDRI capture in AV mode changes at +/- 2 ev so every shot changes all the while wearing sunglasses so not to damage your eyes. Remember also the sun moves it's diameter every 2 minutes.
