  • Partial rainbow on Hawaii coastline and jungle mountains with beach in foreground

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    To preserve the beach itself, the name is not shared here. Above the jungle peaks, the clouds over the Napali coastline drop enough rain at the distance needed to produce a partial rainbow, which is a full half to double rainbow in another clip; that specific clip can be found by clicking the ‘rainbow’ tag on this page. This is a clip with SKU# DSK146 that is categorized in the ‘Day’ collection.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds and 29 frames.

  • Over a forest and suburban farm pond…

    Scene notes:

    …light shafts shine momentarily on congestus afternoon clouds in the late afternoon, by a pond and a typical wetland in Oregon. The clouds are outlined by the sun, with some sunbeams being defined by the shifting cloud shapes, which are lifting and meandering on slow or still wind. A higher layer is less influenced by the heating of the ground.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    15 seconds and 15 frames.

  • 2 of 2 Facing west at sunset from a viewpoint…

    Scene notes: … of light rays through darker clouds slowly shifting. This is a slower clip with a very short interval and faster shutter speed. Crepuscular rays shine when there is a higher humidity in one area, but not necessarily very humid in the entire observable atmosphere around the observer. As the clouds move, the shadows defining the light rays move with them. The rays trace a path from the sun to the ground, and to the observer, the angles shift more the further the light path reaches from the sun.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 17 frames.

  • 1 of 2 Facing west at sunset from a viewpoint…

    Scene notes:

    …light rays through darker clouds slowly shifting. Because of a small patch of open sky, the sun breaks free into the valley below in between dense cloud cover of Cumulus type. Far in the distance is the barely visible horizon, which is cloaked in cloud shadow. This is the second clip in a scene of a few that were taken within the same 90 minutes.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds and 18 frames.

  • Shadows rising on San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge…

    Scene notes:

    …overbright areas fade as the sun sets away from the point-of-view. Looking east in the late afternoon, you can observe ‘the City’ from afar, behind the long red bridge. Wind on water currents make ripples, as is the traffic on the 101 Highway that spans the bridge. Shadows become longer as the sun sets first on the foreground grassy slopes, and then the ocean bay.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    13 seconds and 20 frames.

  • 1 of 2 On Waimeia Canyon, low clouds flow smoothly…

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    …on jungle and volcanic landscape below. So many cliffs, Waimeia Canyon is a park which has a past as a volcano. It is scientifically shown to be the oldest of the islands of Hawaii, and ‘only a few’ million years ago there were many chambers of magma that collapsed into thin lava flows in the west side and thick flows in the east, and constantly erupting basalt continued to build many of the cliffs. As time went on, the rock decomposed enough from frequent rain to create soils for a jungle to grow. The original plant species that seeded today’s ecosystem floated in from storms that were taken from their birth islands over millennia. Here, the clouds that carried this rain are building and meandering, as they so often have throughout all the planet’s more recent time. Interval: 3 seconds.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds.

  • Overhead clouds grow towering and darker…
