  • Sun sinks at sunset behind upper-level clouds and valley below

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    On high clouds and forest hills, the sun sets. The view extends all the way to Mt June, on the far-right of the frame. Partial sunset.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    33 seconds and 21 frames.

    Scene notes:

    Cumulus picking up more reddened light due to the angle of the sun. The light is post-sunset. Clouds at low and medium levels move in the same wind overhead and past. A three second interval is used.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    33 seconds and 21 frames.

  • Near but not colorful, formation of upper-level clouds moving overhead

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    An example of what happens most evenings with clouds beyond the horizon. No light comes through below to illuminate. The thicker the cloud, the less light passes through it. A finely detailed Cirrus formation with interesting feather-like shapes. For periods of under-lighting, see almost any other clip in the Dawn and Dusk.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    38 seconds and 21 frames.

    Scene notes:

    … higher clouds at sunset. Post-sunset, underneath the clouds, the light is caught. Moving to the right, a gradual clearing of glowing mid-level clouds give way to Cirrus clouds still bright in the sunset light in the upper-right half of the frame.

    19 seconds and 11 frames.

  • 2 of 3 | On Mt Pilatus by Lucerne, Switzerland, clouds

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The continuation of another clip. low-level, fluffy clouds below and at eye-level on Mt Pilatus, and a cable car is observable late clip, ascending. In the distance, past a green plain and clouded hillside, the Alps and its numerous peaks. This southwestern view includes views of Schwarzhorn, Augstmatthorn, and Schrattenfluh in the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch, most peaks dealing with at least some clouds on their slopes.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    13 seconds and 21 frames.

  • Calm ocean sun goes behind higher level clouds

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The ocean, comprising one quarter of the frame, is uncommonly calm due to the Gulf of Mexico, largely shaped and enclosed from the turbulence of the greater Atlantic Ocean by the peninsula that is Florida. The brighter clouds in the upper layer in the distance on the horizon make a glowing layer as a backdrop to lower mid-level clouds, their shapes delicately and finely lit in the dying sunlight. A duo of humans rapidly pass through the frame in the ocean early in the clip.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    14 seconds and 17 frames.

  • Meadows beneath virga and other colorful clouds flowing at sunset time

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Precipitation that evaporates in the dryer air that it falls into is called Virga. These low-level fluffy and convective, as well as stratus clouds, are shown with camera facing northeast, away from the direction of the sunset. Pleasant meadows and hills underline the pink and transforming clouds, with the Virga appearing more stationary.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    14 seconds and 16 frames.

  • 2 of 2 | Altostratus clouds cloaking the sun at dusk with scattering of color

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Cirrostratus (layered stratus) appears to be more Cirrocumulus when shined on by the sun below the horizon. A very distant mountain of the coastline in Oregon is backlit and made to look so small by the very colorful sky above with the colors of orange, pink and red, made better by a clear, flat, and blue patch of sky for contrast.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    13 seconds and 17 frames.
