  • Shifting, growing thunderstorm over sunrise waves

    View with alternate video source

    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

    Changing before point of view which looks upward at the sky. An original, recently remastered time-lapse of the sky with clouds.

    Scene notes:

    Sharing similarities to another clip, this scene is over flowers with a lone oak in the distance. The clouds are a mix of low and medium levels. Shadows move over the field of yellow.

    10 seconds and 12 frames.

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

    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.

  • Rainbow on heavy clouds in the distance on a rocky landscape in the desert rain

    Scene notes:

    The partial rainbow of the desert vanishes into thin air, rain moving out of the creation zone. Distant desert foothills have cloud shadows cast on them throughout.

  • Multiple layers of clouds at sunset with lower…

    Scene notes:

    Cumulus picking up more reddened light due to the angle of the sun. The light is post-sunset. Clouds at low and medium levels move in the same wind overhead and past. A three second interval is used.

    33 seconds and 21 frames.

  • Behind some trees, Lake Tahoe and a pink sunset of Cirrus

    Scene notes:

    Even the snow of the foreground is pink from the ambient light of the clouds. A fiery canvas ablaze with the day’s last minutes, streaks of vibrant crimson and passionate pink ignite the western sky. Below, a tranquil expanse of water mirrors the celestial drama, reflecting hues of rose and lavender. Silhouetted pines stand sentinel along the snowy banks, their dark forms a stark contrast to the luminous horizon. Distant, snow-capped peaks fade into a soft, ethereal blue, a gentle boundary between earth and the incandescent heavens. The snow continues in the distant mountain Mt Tallac (far away and at right).
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    27 seconds and 23 frames.

  • Near but not colorful, formation of upper-level clouds moving overhead

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    An example of what happens most evenings with clouds beyond the horizon. No light comes through below to illuminate. The thicker the cloud, the less light passes through it. A finely detailed Cirrus formation with interesting feather-like shapes. For periods of under-lighting, see almost any other clip in the Dawn and Dusk.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    38 seconds and 21 frames.
