Clear sky time-lapse after sunset into dusk

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

A gradient of color after the sunset typical on a cloudless dusk at high-altitude (10k ft or more), the sky quickly dims as the sun keeps moving under the horizon into night. A monolith from the mountain that overlooks the lands below is in the bottom-right of the frame to add uniqueness and interest.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 15 frames.

2 of 3 | Very fast eye-level fog on hills and valley dusk

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

An evening on windy Mt Diablo, a foreground of vegetation precedes the several hills in small layers of fog. The wind whips the fog over the hillsides below, as the humid air glows brightly near the sun in the upper-third of the frame. Only in the distance of the Bay area are there more fog layers. The sky is otherwise cloudless, as the close fog passes nearby intermittently, brightening the whole scene for brief moments.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
21 seconds and 2 frames.

Scene notes:

Eleven distinct ‘waves’ of cloud banks can be observed spanning the clip’s payback. At this elevation, the tops of stratus clouds beyond and just a few hundred meters away move very quickly in the wind. An effect on the cloud from the land can be seen, owing to the ‘crashing’ transformation effect that the waves of clouds rapidly show. As the afternoon progresses closer to sunset, the color begins to change as well.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
19 seconds and 25 frames.

3 of 4 | Super-fast fog bank rolling on alpine meadow near sunset

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

A continuation of another clip. The top fifty percent is a rolling fog layer of stratus. The base of the cloud is above ground, but the word ‘fog’ is used in this clip’s context; this is a ‘Stratocumulus’ cloud. It blankets a large area and is being blown on a strong ocean wind. Around 500 ft away in the middle-background, the transition between land and sky is not so clear. The tree line is shown being inundated intermittently. On a setting sun, the cloud glows colors of gold, with enough illumination for the grassy foreground.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
19 seconds and 20 frames.

Scene notes:

Golds on stratus looking towards the sunset are commonplace. This fog layer moves on a steady wind below the Douglas Fir trees. The sun sets below the horizon and all the light is removed from the scene except the slight ambient light from the sky. A foreground of grass is visible in the first half of the clip.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
14 seconds and 26 frames.

Scene notes:

The camera is intermittently in fog as it backs away from the edge on a dolly. Around the middle of the playback, the sunlight shines onto the stones and vegetation (left). There is a precipitous drop and a small breche in the foreground. The blue sky, cloudless above, comprises a third of the frame.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
11 seconds and 16 frames.

… of fog shines on forest at sunset. Tumbling and shifting just beyond the tree line is a cloud layer of stratus. The sun is observed going towards the horizon as the layer behind these silhouettes transforms.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 23 frames.
