    Scene notes:

    …a medium for optical halo illusion around the high sun. Cirrostratus at the correct density and altitude will create a halo optical effect around the sun. These conditions are generally perfect for jet contrail formation. A full-frame, 14mm lens is used.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 15 frames.

    Scene notes:

    … Backlit by the sun making stark contrast, undulating. These low-level clouds move along a wind left-to-right, transforming as they go. Stark backlighting is necessary when capturing crepuscular rays and shadows to preserve highlights. Two or three separate bands of cloud are evident in the lower half of the frame, the largest of which show signs of nearing future precipitation, with the upper half containing smaller patches of varying density overhead. Length at 30 fps: Seven seconds and nine frames.

    Scene notes:

    The partial halo from stratocirrus clouds. Other clouds in the frame do not contribute to the halo itself.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds and 2 frames.

    The continuation of another clip, the scene continues into ‘blue hour’.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):

  • 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.
