  • 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.

  • Behind low clouds at sunset on the ocean, the sun casts sky shadows

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Humans are seen strolling rapidly on the beach as silhouettes from afar, and the ocean about an eight of the frame, which is shown with very gentle waves, and changes with the sky color as it changes. Far away, the sun goes behind a smaller sized Cumulonimbus around 10 miles away near the horizon, and minor sunbeams are briefly seen. In the upper levels of the sky above, Cirrus clouds are made reddish, then pink.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):

    Scene notes:

    … also glow and shifts with the sun’s movement. A six second interval is used. Floridian trees are silhouetted from afar, slash pines and others, dense trees under ninety five percent sky. Where the humid air is glowed upon and the shadows, made from thicker patches of cloud obstructing the glow of the light, changes as the sun moves downward.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 21 frames.

  • Orographic effect in action above Yosemite Valley in winter along river

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Clouds drop precipitation as snow in this valley that is the classic Yosemite experience. This clip is the continuation of a clip from Day. Trees, appearing at first glance to be following the clouds up the snowy slopes, cover much of the left frame. A giant monolith, partially covered in mist, appears in the left third, indescribable. A sheer rock face on the right is acting as a blocker for clouds. Farther away, another sheer cliff face is appearing to hold back the cloud flow, all this on a winter landscape.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 16 frames.

  • Panning w/ red sandstone monoliths at blue sunset

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    On complex red sandstone formations, shadows shift intermittently and then for the end duration as the sun sets. Facing east, with mid-level Castellanus clouds appearing to move away as the camera physically pans to the right, where shrublands lay before the stones.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 15 frames.

  • Landscape and forest in background contrast the bright sky as the sun sets

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The landscape is two-thirds of the frame, a forest of hills and ridges which extend into a vast plain. The humid air allows the radiant intensity to glow on these lands, the vapor both absorbs and emits some of the light in all directions. The sun moves lower into the dusk behind the horizon, leaving Cirrus clouds illuminated red and pink from below, and then, night falls.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 14 frames.

  • Glowing lower level clouds on a blue sky

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Pink light on the mid-level clouds. Strong radiant light passes through the atmosphere to create underlighting for the slow clouds overhead with no horizon in frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 4 frames.

  • Mixed cloud sunset over rocky landscape and forest

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    … in wilderness under clouds where the sun is seen. An exemplar of Altocumulus Castellanus near the center of the frame. Underlit with purple sunlight filtered from smoke, these clouds tower, owing that their names are derived from castle towers. At the end of playback, the sun can be seen brilliantly going down before disappearing into night. An airplane is seen zooming past in the sky, twice, in the upper-left frame. Upper-level Cirrocumulus clouds are gold in their altitude which gives them brilliant direct sunlight to the end.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 14 frames.
