  • 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.

    14 seconds and 16 frames.

  • Night lightning illuminates passing thunderstorm – content warning for epilepsy

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The thunderstorm moves past the frame, right to left. The lightning illuminates the cloud stochastically as the city, outside of the frame, lights the clouds from below constantly. Leaving behind some of itself as it passes overhead, the ‘cell’ is moved by outflow from other storms.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 1 frame.

  • Rain cloud looms above at sunset as the sky is enveloped in a tinged storm

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Panning downward slowly, a slow moving rain cloud complex over a plan during dusk. Rain can be observed in the distance at the very bottom of the frame, as well as a distant tree line. The clouds range from strongly tinged pink to Halloween orange as the sunset progresses.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    17 seconds and 12 frames.

  • The Golden Gate at night with traffic flowing…

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    … both directions and airplanes taking off in the night sky. A constant flow of traffic pours through both ways of the Golden Gate Bridge over the bay, which lightly reflects the lights of the bridge itself. Airplanes, passenger liners are seen taking off and veering to the right throughout in the sky at upper portion of the frame this cloudless evening. The lights of the radio towers on Twin Peaks just left of the right pillar on the bridge rise high, a few miles away. The bay appears to be pouring in water constantly on the top surface.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 25 frames.

  • 3 of 3 | Night skyline of Miami dwarfed under

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    … reddish-tinged clouds from city lights as they pass by over. Demonstrating the power of city lights in the night sky, long exposures show the bright illumination of passing rain clouds. These clouds are too stable or short to create lightning, but can make massive precipitation, as is nearly every day in the summer in this part of the state of Florida. Their massive size is shadowed but easily seen in the upper-right. Helicopters or light airplanes are seen flying along the skyline’s altitude.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 1 frame.

  • 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.

  • Mid and upper-level clouds shine and fade at sunset

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Floating past, a rapidly deteriorating Cumulus congestus (towering cloud) is absorbed by the slightly dryer air it moves into. Above, many layers of thinner clouds and medium-thick clouds also transform in the rapidly setting sun, which is out of frame at right the sky darkens, but brighter portions of clips can always be trimmed for use.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds.

  • Congestus clouds with light rain highlighted by rays in colorful sunset view

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    On rain, light rays are carved by the shade of the clouds which the sun is also illuminating vividly. Anvil top glow gold momentarily as the frame pans up to the setting where clouds speed by at multiple levels and pink plays on the highest, intricate details of the undersides of clouds- momentarily.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds and 8 frames.
