  • Mountain landscape silhouetted under scattering clouds at dusk

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    In the late afternoon, just before sunset, the sun has moved below the mountains. On the peaks, some clouds are created by the high winds and pour over the top of the frame. The foreground is a unique desert landscape of stone and decomposed granite.

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Humans are seen strolling rapidly on the beach as silhouettes from afar, and the ocean about an eight of the frame, which is shown with very gentle waves, and changes with the sky color as it changes. Far away, the sun goes behind a smaller sized Cumulonimbus around 10 miles away near the horizon, and minor sunbeams are briefly seen. In the upper levels of the sky above, Cirrus clouds are made reddish, then pink.

  • 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.

  • 1 of 2 | Upper-level clouds cloaking the sun at dusk with scattering of color

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Different shadows from the varying cloud cover. Cirrostratus are seen from afar near the horizon. This layer of moisture is dense enough to be opaque with the sun directly behind it. The sliver of blue-sky between clouds persists.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 8 frames.

  • Panning w/ red sandstone monoliths at blue sunset

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    On complex red sandstone formations, shadows shift intermittently and then for the end duration as the sun sets. Facing east, with mid-level Castellanus clouds appearing to move away as the camera physically pans to the right, where shrublands lay before the stones.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 15 frames.

  • Landscape and forest in background contrast the bright sky as the sun sets

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The landscape is two-thirds of the frame, a forest of hills and ridges which extend into a vast plain. The humid air allows the radiant intensity to glow on these lands, the vapor both absorbs and emits some of the light in all directions. The sun moves lower into the dusk behind the horizon, leaving Cirrus clouds illuminated red and pink from below, and then, night falls.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 14 frames.

  • Glowing lower level clouds on a blue sky

    View with alternate video source

    Pink light on the mid-level clouds. Strong radiant light passes through the atmosphere to create underlighting for the slow clouds overhead with no horizon in frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 4 frames.
