On rain, light rays are carved by the shade of the clouds which the sun is also illuminating vividly.
Anvil top glow gold momentarily as the frame pans up to the setting where clouds speed by at multiple
levels and pink plays on the highest, intricate details of the undersides of clouds- momentarily.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
10 seconds and 8 frames.
Different shadows from the varying cloud cover. Cirrostratus are seen from afar near the horizon.
This layer of moisture is dense enough to be opaque with the sun directly behind it. The sliver of
blue-sky between clouds persists.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 8 frames.
On complex red sandstone formations, shadows shift intermittently and then for the end duration as
the sun sets. Facing east, with mid-level Castellanus clouds appearing to move away as the camera
physically pans to the right, where shrublands lay before the stones.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 15 frames.
The landscape is two-thirds of the frame, a forest of hills and ridges which extend into a vast
plain. The humid air allows the radiant intensity to glow on these lands, the vapor both absorbs and
emits some of the light in all directions. The sun moves lower into the dusk behind the horizon,
leaving Cirrus clouds illuminated red and pink from below, and then, night falls.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):

The sunset from Pike Creek Vista, Grand Canyon. The northwestward view shows the canyon stretching
vast distances under the sky, which comprises the top quarter of the frame. Mid-level clouds shape
the light above while the landscape shades itself, cliffs and precipices in the dark. The sun
disappears below the horizon in this darkening scene. Original footage from 2005.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 13 frames.
Pink light on the mid-level clouds. Strong radiant light passes through the atmosphere to create
underlighting for the slow clouds overhead with no horizon in frame.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 4 frames.
The tree line is a silhouette against the glowing sunset light, and is reflected perfectly in the
pond. The scene darkens as the clip progresses, and the sun has set.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
13 seconds and 5 frames.
… in wilderness under clouds where the sun is seen. An exemplar of Altocumulus Castellanus near the
center of the frame. Underlit with purple sunlight filtered from smoke, these clouds tower, owing
that their names are derived from castle towers. At the end of playback, the sun can be seen
brilliantly going down before disappearing into night. An airplane is seen zooming past in the sky,
twice, in the upper-left frame. Upper-level Cirrocumulus clouds are gold in their altitude which
gives them brilliant direct sunlight to the end.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 14 frames.
