  • Rainbow on Hawaii coastline and jungle mountains

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    …with beach in foreground. Kauai is the furthest west island of the Hawaiian chain, and on the furthest western beaches, nature has been left to prevail; although trucks ride on this lesser known beach, it has a big enough area to accommodate the people enjoying the solitude and beauty that is reminiscent of prehistory. A rainbow stretches and begins its second bow as conditions are nearing perfect for this formation; the rain is at the right distance with the sun being at the correct angle in the sky near sunset. As the day grows older the rainbow is more likely to appear, until a period before sunset when it is very likely to encounter clouds on the horizon, as it was apparent in this scene to the observant during filming using two or three second intervals.

  • Floating parallel to shore of the Pacific Ocean…

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    … with waves flowing on rocks below. Cerulean sky above, the ocean below as we are over the water. The headlands of the coast are clear at points, as are the stones that make the shore so rocky. At about 300ft (or 100m) altitude, waves look small as they crash below. The deep blue see stretches into the north where the fog is already gone from the daylight heating, but the landscape makes fog formation here more likely.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 12 frames.

  • Floating to monoliths on the Pacific Ocean shore…

    Scene notes:

    … with waves flowing on rocks below. The UAS moves towards a monolith among an outcrop of stone and shallow beach waves. A full motion clip with no interval of photos. Just beyond the monolith is a fog bank that is slowly moving towards the camera, with smaller wisps moving over the rocky shore.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    1 minute, 6 seconds and 17 frames.

  • Floating over the Pacific Ocean shore with waves flowing on rocks below

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Moving south, the UAV points down to a broken fog bank, which is breaking on the rocky shore from beyond. Glistening far below, waves move towards the headlands and rocky outcrops. White foam on the rockiest areas as well as further out where the waves break.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    37 seconds and 6 frames.

  • 1 of 3 | Waves splash on rocks ocean flight at sunset over waves

  • 2 of 3 | Ocean flight at sunset over waves

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The UAS floats and moves slowly over the ocean at sunset without focusing on the sun. A light haze tones the highlights to moderated brightness. Not time-lapse. No interval, since the source is video.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    33 seconds and 16 frames

  • 3 of 3 Waves splash on rocks ocean flight at sunset

    Scene notes:

    … over waves, with takeoff from the ground. As is evident by watching, no interval is used, since the source is video that is full motion.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    1 minute, 29 seconds and 26 frames.

  • Gold storm with majestic mammatus shifts on sunset…

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    …over ocean time-lapse. Intricate and delicate, the underside of these clouds are illuminated minutes after the sun has set to the observer. How is this? The sun is below the horizon to the observer, but not to the sky above. At that moment, you would still see the sun if in an airplane at that height. You would be in its light, as are these clouds. Since these clouds are attached to a storm, their altitude could in fact be 30,000 ft or more. This would make sense, due to the low movement of the delicate parts of the cloud, which would have frozen droplets. Some lower clouds that make up lower thunderstorm bodies have a mix of frozen droplets, gaseous vapor, and liquid.

    On a sliver of ocean with distant palm trees silhouetted far away, another younger storm is at the right of the lower frame portion. Blue sky persists in an area that homes other colorful clouds at higher altitudes of 45000 feet, or about 15000 m. The sun sets and the ‘mammatus’ clouds from the storm redden.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    25 seconds and 10 frames.
