  • 3 of 7 | Napali Coast beach sunset scene

    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.

    Scene notes:

    Observing the steep jungle headlands, rain is seen on the glowing cliffs, moving under these glowing lower-level clouds, fluffy formations of warm moisture. The Napali Coast has ancient, walk-able trails. Stretching away in shadow now, the foreground is the beach in the lower left. Trees frame the headlands, also left. At right, the ocean is coming in on gentle fast waves, and ‘altostratus’ move left to right in the upper-frame space. The horizon is a mix of colors, like saffron-mango, and sand. The clear sky areas are a Kashmir-blue.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 15 frames.

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The mid-level clouds are in full sunlight just before and during the actual sun setting below the horizon. The continuation of another clip. The low-level clouds which only recently brought rain have largely evaporated, remnants now lit from the reflection of the ocean and filtered pink light. On the beach (bottom right) the sand is where the gentle waves culminate gradually.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds and 24 frames.
