  • 3 of 3 | Night skyline of Miami dwarfed under

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    … reddish-tinged clouds from city lights as they pass by over. Demonstrating the power of city lights in the night sky, long exposures show the bright illumination of passing rain clouds. These clouds are too stable or short to create lightning, but can make massive precipitation, as is nearly every day in the summer in this part of the state of Florida. Their massive size is shadowed but easily seen in the upper-right. Helicopters or light airplanes are seen flying along the skyline’s altitude.

  • Over Canyonlands viewpoint, the moon slowly

    Scene notes:

    …sets with Cirrus clouds moving overhead. Cirrus clouds, a thin layer of water 40,000 or so feet in the sky, pass quickly by with motion-blur due to the long exposure, which allows the illumination of the moon to be magnified on the desert vista below. Since it is so far below, the Canyonlands view stretches a vast distance, and the many stars of the night sky move as the Earth spins, and the moon with it, towards the horizon and out of the clouds.

  • 1 of 4 | Over the Bay, planes land at San Francisco…

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    …Airport, SFO at night under rainy clouds. Continental traveling airplanes are seen landing over the bay diagonally across the frame. The bright lights of a few are visible among the other city lights, taxiing for takeoff or to their gates. In the bottom quarter of the frame the water moves, and reflects the light of the clouds, illuminated in the city’s lighting. The lower stratus clouds bring rain on the city across the water.

  • Moon rises over Grand Canyon with smoke clearing…

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    …out and high clouds moving rapidly, moonlit The full moon rises behind high clouds. The view from this light is dynamic, made more so by smoke from nearby fires. The smoke is seen as a nebulous cloud, only thinly veiling this view. Stars are seen above the clouds. How is this a moonrise? The long exposure of the individual frames allows for more light to be captured in the image, enough to be of comparable levels to a sunrise at certain times. The view of the canyon is deep, the point of view is from Duck on a Rock viewpoint facing northeast.
