Dimming ocean of marine layer clouds on a view…

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

…at dusk on Mt Tamalpais as sunset passes by. Stratocumulus clouds stretch for miles far below the serene meadow hills with creeping, windblown trees. The open sky is a ‘Hoki’ color, or a dusty-blue, and the horizon is a mix of Dusky Rose and Pale Oranges that make up the quarter of the frame. California sage brush, Chaparral, and Oaks are the main types of trees and shrubs shown.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):

Above Sierra range, clouds expand as the dusk darkens the sky upwards

Scene notes:

The deep dark of the ‘blue hour’ that comes after sunset, with just a few spots of cloud catching glowing pink light, but the clouds continue moving in complex patterns. The mountains are having a definite effect.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
8 seconds and 18 frames.

Sunset that is illuminated from behind where there is rain and clouds rolling

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

Original footage from 2005. The storm floats overhead, rain catching sunlight from the other side of the cumulonimbus on the west. Enough filters through during sunset that the precipitation takes on bright orange hues.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds.

Lake Tahoe sunset with pink clouds with humans, boats further out

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

Altocumulus Castellanus are here in the top half of the frame at sunset. Being brilliantly shined upon, they range in color from Grapefruit to shades of pale pink and sharp purple, and the clear areas of sky remain blue, comprising two thirds of the sky. The bottom half has Lake Tahoe, a boat makes an inquisitive entrance and exit, and the water moves with gentle, lapping waves. The other side of the expansive lake is the east sky, with more clouds the further observed.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 9 frames.

High contrast reds on detail dusk on upper-level stratus and Cirrus

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

Filling the sky at dawn are Cirrocumulus clouds. Out of the frame and over the horizon, other clouds block out the light in the second half of the clip. Grapefruit colors and pinks shine on the upper-level clouds as a one second interval is used to create a longer clip.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
32 seconds and 8 frames.

Scene notes:

Canyonlands, Utah, near the Anticline Overlook, where a long rocky road leads to these sudden cliffs and viewpoint. Far below at right, a canyon is completely shadowed. In the foreground, a three-sided precipice of a rocky outcrop. The left frame has a sheer cliff face of several hundred meters, as it slowly brightens.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 15 frames.
