  • 5 of 7 | Napali Coast beach sunset scene, includes sun going below horizon

    Scene notes:

    Brilliantly lit by the reflection of the ocean, these mid-level clouds show intricate details in vivid colors. An upper-level Cirrus formation also flies above that layer, shining. The sun sets behind these Cirrus. In the bottom-fifth, the reflective ocean waves pour in far below and beyond to the horizon.

    Scene notes:

    On the way to sunset in Kauai, by the Napali Coast, multiple layers of clouds move. These clouds quickly roil away from the camera and seemingly following the headlands are on the medium side of density, but they do not need to be heavy to foretell rain is on the way when it’s so humid. Observe the distant layer of headlands which seems to be different layer in the background, slightly glowing. This is due to the moisture in the air. The beach is visible on a small area of the lower left, and the ocean has many small waves rushing in.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds and 14 frames.

    Scene notes:

    A continuation of another clip (not in chronological order). The clouds will begin to glow as the sun comes out. High clouds cast shadows on the background headlands until the sun goes ‘below’ them in the sky. When this occurs, the foreground beach and ocean, as well as the middle and parts of the background, come fully into light. The clouds high in the sky are Cirrus.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
