6 of 7 | Napali Coast beach sunset scene

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

A continuation of another clip (not in chronological order). The clouds will begin to glow as the sun comes out. High clouds cast shadows on the background headlands until the sun goes ‘below’ them in the sky. When this occurs, the foreground beach and ocean, as well as the middle and parts of the background, come fully into light. The clouds high in the sky are Cirrus.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
14 seconds and 8 frames.

Calm ocean sun goes behind higher level clouds

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

The ocean, comprising one quarter of the frame, is uncommonly calm due to the Gulf of Mexico, largely shaped and enclosed from the turbulence of the greater Atlantic Ocean by the peninsula that is Florida. The brighter clouds in the upper layer in the distance on the horizon make a glowing layer as a backdrop to lower mid-level clouds, their shapes delicately and finely lit in the dying sunlight. A duo of humans rapidly pass through the frame in the ocean early in the clip.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
14 seconds and 17 frames.

Vivid colorful light rays on clouds from mountain peak of Mt Whitney

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

Light rays at sunset. Crepuscular rays fall from high humidity on mountaintops. The sun glows on the clouds as it sets behind Mt Whitney and the mountain ridge. The middle and background dims. The sunbeams shift as the clouds move and the sun sets below. The vivid, sharp rays are defined by the staggered peaks.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 25 frames.

Meadows beneath virga and other colorful clouds flowing at sunset time

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

Precipitation that evaporates in the dryer air that it falls into is called Virga. These low-level fluffy and convective, as well as stratus clouds, are shown with camera facing northeast, away from the direction of the sunset. Pleasant meadows and hills underline the pink and transforming clouds, with the Virga appearing more stationary.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
14 seconds and 16 frames.

Between Juniper trees, Grand Tetons range under fading pinkish high clouds

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

The finest details are shown as these mid-level clouds above the Grand Tetons mountain range peaks above the tree line, far away. The very fine texture of a smaller cloud in particular, glowing in reds and pinks, lives shortly as the sun fades after it has already set. Juniper trees frame the mountains and span the vertical axis of the frame.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
11 seconds and 14 frames.

Panning on mountains in Banff at blue sunset facing eastward

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

Digitally panning at blue hour on the mountains of Banff National Park in Canada. The sun lights up the lower-level clouds which ride the steady wind just above the snowy peaks and ridges. The Canadian Rockies are home to both Banff and Jasper parks, which are situated not far from each other geographically, and are both in the Alberta province.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
15 seconds and 9 frames.

Slow pink sunrise on mountains in winter facing west with fair sky

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

Almost silhouetted in the morning blue hour, stones of the Alabama Hills in California lay large in the in the foreground of the Sierra Nevada mountains, which are pink and brightening in the sunrise light.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
16 seconds and 2 frames.

Fog stratus flowing on gentle air currents under some upper-level stratus

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

Many clips of Precipice are like one another, and some share the same scene at different times. All Precipice clips take place on a steep drop-off, even if that drop is out of frame. They all have in common a cloud or fog layer either at below the point of view’s elevation and are at or near sunset.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
8 seconds and 13 frames.
