    Scene notes: … of light rays through darker clouds slowly shifting. This is a slower clip with a very short interval and faster shutter speed. Crepuscular rays shine when there is a higher humidity in one area, but not necessarily very humid in the entire observable atmosphere around the observer. As the clouds move, the shadows defining the light rays move with them. The rays trace a path from the sun to the ground, and to the observer, the angles shift more the further the light path reaches from the sun.

    9 seconds and 17 frames.

    Scene notes:

    …light rays through darker clouds slowly shifting. Because of a small patch of open sky, the sun breaks free into the valley below in between dense cloud cover of Cumulus type. Far in the distance is the barely visible horizon, which is cloaked in cloud shadow. This is the second clip in a scene of a few that were taken within the same 90 minutes.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):

  • Time-lapse on beach under partly cloudy skies…

    Scene notes:

    … with multiple layers of colorful glowing clouds at dusk. Looking up from a beach on Kauai, there are different cloud layers to be seen above. As the sky darkens, the upper-level clouds are illuminated from below. These small rain showers are common on the island chain where surface heating makes them bloom in the sun during daylight and dissipate at night. The lower storm cloud is raining moderately out-of-frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 12 frames.

  • Alto, cirrocumulus above while panning on the wild…

    Scene notes:

    Castellanus clouds (castle top clouds) are named for their towering appearance; these mid-level clouds have the most intricate and brilliant lighting while shapeshifting above the wild forest hills at sunset, oranges, golds, pinks, purples, and pale blues.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 21 frames.

  • Mid-level clouds glow briefly, flowing at dawn with the rain

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A dawn rain cloud backlit with brilliant colors as a few of the mid-level clouds show unusual curves due to precipitation, which is responsible for the glow. Just the right amount of rainfall, a very light amount, is enough to bring out the brilliant golds, however briefly, ending on much bluer colors due to the sun ‘going behind’ clouds which moved between it and the point of view.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds and 8 frames.

  • Light from the sun reflectsoff the ocean onto clouds

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Where light is reflected off the ocean and lights from beneath the mid-level clouds, it makes these gold colors. A clear view of the sun to the ocean with clouds overhead the observer is not an everyday occurrence where the balance must be ‘just so’.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    18 seconds and 6 frames.
