… also glow and shifts with the sun’s movement. A six second interval is used. Floridian trees are silhouetted from afar, slash pines and others, dense trees under ninety five percent sky. Where the humid air is glowed upon and the shadows, made from thicker patches of cloud obstructing the glow of the light, changes as the sun moves downward.

Panning w/ red sandstone monoliths at blue sunset

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

On complex red sandstone formations, shadows shift intermittently and then for the end duration as the sun sets. Facing east, with mid-level Castellanus clouds appearing to move away as the camera physically pans to the right, where shrublands lay before the stones.

Orographic effect in action above Yosemite Valley in winter along river

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

Clouds drop precipitation as snow in this valley that is the classic Yosemite experience. This clip is the continuation of a clip from Day. Trees, appearing at first glance to be following the clouds up the snowy slopes, cover much of the left frame. A giant monolith, partially covered in mist, appears in the left third, indescribable. A sheer rock face on the right is acting as a blocker for clouds. Farther away, another sheer cliff face is appearing to hold back the cloud flow, all this on a winter landscape.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 16 frames.

Landscape and forest in background contrast the bright sky as the sun sets

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

The landscape is two-thirds of the frame, a forest of hills and ridges which extend into a vast plain. The humid air allows the radiant intensity to glow on these lands, the vapor both absorbs and emits some of the light in all directions. The sun moves lower into the dusk behind the horizon, leaving Cirrus clouds illuminated red and pink from below, and then, night falls.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 14 frames.

Congestus Clouds with light rain highlighted by rays in colorful sunset view

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

On rain, light rays are carved by the shade of the clouds which the sun is also illuminating vividly. Anvil top glow gold momentarily as the frame pans up to the setting where clouds speed by at multiple levels and pink plays on the highest, intricate details of the undersides of clouds- momentarily.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
10 seconds and 8 frames.

1 of 2 | Upper-level clouds cloaking the sun at dusk with scattering of color

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

Different shadows from the varying cloud cover. Cirrostratus are seen from afar near the horizon. This layer of moisture is dense enough to be opaque with the sun directly behind it. The sliver of blue-sky between clouds persists.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 8 frames.

Grand Canyon with the sun’s shade shifting on the red rocks below

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

The sunset from Pike Creek Vista, Grand Canyon. The northwestward view shows the canyon stretching vast distances under the sky, which comprises the top quarter of the frame. Mid-level clouds shape the light above while the landscape shades itself, cliffs and precipices in the dark. The sun disappears below the horizon in this darkening scene. Original footage from 2005.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 13 frames.
