1 of 2 | Waves splash on rocks of beach in Kauai, Hawaii, at sunset under Nimbus clouds
Scene notes:
Glowing, the Nimbus cloud is pink and purple moving away toward the visibly setting sun. No interval is used (this is a full motion clip). The volcanic landscape that is this ocean side is teeming with plants and life.

Shifting, growing thunderstorm over sunrise waves

Scene notes:
A morning Nimbus cloud, with leading edge glowing in the morning light. The short storm (due to the fact that the time of day is morning, and this is likely the remnant of a more active storm from the previous day) plows forward left-right. In the lower third of the frame, the calm ocean waves reflect much of the sky, and many small birds, sandpipers, run around on the sand, mainly halfway through the clip. Rain can be observed under the cloud. There is a

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.

3 of 7 | Napali Coast beach sunset scene
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
On the way to sunset in Kauai, by the Napali Coast, multiple layers of clouds move. These clouds quickly roil away from the camera and seemingly following the headlands are on the medium side of density, but they do not need to be heavy to foretell rain is on the way when it’s so humid. Observe the distant layer of headlands which seems to be different layer in the background, slightly glowing. This is due to the moisture in the air. The beach is visible on a small area of the lower left, and the ocean has many small waves rushing in.

6 of 7 | Napali Coast beach sunset scene
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
A continuation of another clip (not in chronological order). The clouds will begin to glow as the sun comes out. High clouds cast shadows on the background headlands until the sun goes ‘below’ them in the sky. When this occurs, the foreground beach and ocean, as well as the middle and parts of the background, come fully into light. The clouds high in the sky are Cirrus.

Calm ocean sun goes behind higher level clouds
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
The ocean, comprising one quarter of the frame, is uncommonly calm due to the Gulf of Mexico, largely shaped and enclosed from the turbulence of the greater Atlantic Ocean by the peninsula that is Florida. The brighter clouds in the upper layer in the distance on the horizon make a glowing layer as a backdrop to lower mid-level clouds, their shapes delicately and finely lit in the dying sunlight. A duo of humans rapidly pass through the frame in the ocean early in the clip.

Over small sand dunes 100m away, the ocean below

Scene notes:
…some fair-weather clouds in the midday blue sky. The shadows of sand dunes slowly creep longer on the sand. The ocean stretches away into the distance to the right. European beach-grass was introduced in the early 20th century- but its spread poses changes to the dune’s existence themselves. Its ability to live in sand is a double-edged sword for the local ecology. A largely cloudy Cirrus sky in the top third of the frame moves inland towards the right of the frame, but it has not yet fully shaded the foreground and beach beyond until late in the clip.
