  • Flying over unique sand dunes and shrublands…

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Over sand dunes with shrublands on the right. The shadows of the nearby fog, passing on the ocean breeze, float by quickly as it unexpectedly comes in on return. The dunes don’t show a low amount of human impact- but a definite impact, nonetheless. The sky consists of the top seventh of the frame and is a mix of stratus layers under blue sky. The frame pans downward digitally from the sky.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 15 frames.

    Scene notes:

    Slow zoom out called pan ‘n scan. Afternoon clouds of the southern Florida coastline with Miami’s skyline dwarfed; magic hour is close at the end of the clip when the light begins to fade behind clouds.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    52 seconds.

  • 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.

  • Ocean focused on gentle beach with clouds in distance

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A shallow and calm beach typical of the Gulf, three quarters of the frame is ocean with building tropical clouds in the distance, about one sixth of the frame, under a blue-sky in the remaining six. A distant tree line far on the beach with tropical trees and signs of people on the left. Fine details of the ripples of sand under the clear water with caustic lights on the floor, the water is aquamarine up-close. 30 fps Time-lapse length:10 seconds, 22 frames

  • Clouds rise over Miami skyline in the afternoon 3 of 3

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Another similar scene to Day111A, an ocean view looking on the Miami skyline from the east. Groups of taller, late-afternoon clouds, tilting towards their direction of wind, as if italicized and colorful, dwarf the tallest buildings, which are reflected on the calm waters of the bay. A three second interval is used. The clouds’ lighter colors are Fawn to Lime Oak.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds and 18 frames.

  • Dawn over water, a partial rainbow over inlet, near Svalbarðseyri, and Akureyri, Iceland

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    On a hill view just north of Akureyri, Iceland. Looking across the inlet to mountainous landscapes in a fog layer of stratus cloud. The low clouds move along, and a partial rainbow briefly forms in the sky from precipitation. The dawn is pinkish on the low clouds, facing west at sunrise, away from the sun. A three second interval is used.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    16 seconds.
