    Scene notes:

    … higher clouds at sunset. Post-sunset, underneath the clouds, the light is caught. Moving to the right, a gradual clearing of glowing mid-level clouds give way to Cirrus clouds still bright in the sunset light in the upper-right half of the frame.

    Scene notes:

    Mid-level clouds float over the point of view in the night, a starry sky above the mountains, which strongly rise on the left. A glacier of packed, icy snow resides in a distant slope near-center. The altostratus varies in its coverage of the sky; it ebbs and flows.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 28 frames.

  • Slow sunrise of colors on high clouds stirring with shifting, brightening light

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Very small details in the sky in the desert dawn with a sliver of land. The interval used is one second. Slower clips can be more useful for applications such as relaxation and biofeedback. The mid-level clouds are positioned so other clouds do not block the light on the way to their underside.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    41 seconds and 28 frames.

  • 5 of 7 | Napali Coast beach sunset scene, includes sun going below horizon

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The mid-level clouds are in full sunlight just before and during the actual sun setting below the horizon. The continuation of another clip. The low-level clouds which only recently brought rain have largely evaporated, remnants now lit from the reflection of the ocean and filtered pink light. On the beach (bottom right) the sand is where the gentle waves culminate gradually.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds and 24 frames.
