  • Fast low-level clouds near sunset creating crepuscular rays

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A longer interval of around ten seconds is used. Clouds in the late afternoon at have enough space between them to allow sunlight through, and the humidity brings out vibrant light rays. The clouds blow quickly on the land, and as the second half of the clip goes, the light rays are observed to rapidly shift with the openings of the cloud positions. These crepuscular rays are not uncommon in partly cloudy, high humidity skies one to three hours before sunset. With days being far longer, the summer has more time and opportunity for these rays to reach through. But clouds are less common in Oregon during the summer, so often fall and spring are fair times as the day progresses, and some clouds are persisting. Far below in the frame of the clip, meadows are shadowed frequently among a forested, hilly landscape, with a lake in the far distance before the coast range of buttes and mountains. Length at 30 fps: 16:15

    Scene notes:

    Bright Cantaloupe highlights in the bright precipitation of these stratus clouds, and Halloween orange colors on the fading rain at right of the frame. Silhouetted bare ridges in the lower quarter, under these clouds that darken in as time progresses, the open sky a perfect Mid-blue.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds and 15 frames.

    Scene notes:

    Filling the sky at dawn are Cirrocumulus clouds. Out of the frame and over the horizon, other clouds block out the light in the second half of the clip. Grapefruit colors and pinks shine on the upper-level clouds as a one second interval is used to create a longer clip.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    32 seconds and 8 frames.

  • Sunset that is illuminated from behind where there is rain and clouds rolling

    Scene notes:

    Original footage from 2005. The storm floats overhead, rain catching sunlight from the other side of the cumulonimbus on the west. Enough filters through during sunset that the precipitation takes on bright orange hues.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds.

  • Shapeshifting fog just below with upper-level clouds illuminated at sunset

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Sandwiched between layers of clouds, where just below, the sun shines on stratus fog vividly at sunset, creating these pink wave crests of the fog, steadily moving and shifting on a wind. Far beyond, an Altostratus layer filters out a little light, but closer above, the stratus layer has its lower surface is made golden by the sun’s glow. From reddish to pink, the sky majestically plays into dusk.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    13 seconds and 2 frames.
