    Scene notes:

    Ominous, towering, coming towards the point of view. These night clouds, partly shrouded by mid and high-level clouds, would not seem so intimidating if they are not flashing with cloud-to-cloud lightning- different from heat or sheet lightening, cloud-to-cloud lightening is full-power energy release, only it never touches the ground. That’s the main difference in the name of this versus cloud-to-ground. The city orange lights illuminate stratus and silhouette the growing clouds which appear to light up from within, naturally strong light pollution from a large city.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    18 seconds and 13 frames.

    A shallow and calm beach typical of the Gulf, three quarters of the frame is ocean with building tropical clouds in the distance, about one sixth of the frame, under a blue-sky in the remaining six. A distant tree line far on the beach with tropical trees and signs of people on the left. Fine details of the ripples of sand under the clear water with caustic lights on the floor, the water is aquamarine up-close. 30 fps Time-lapse length:10 seconds, 22 frames
