  • Sun sinks at sunset behind upper-level clouds and valley below

    Scene notes:

    Brilliantly lit by the reflection of the ocean, these mid-level clouds show intricate details in vivid colors. An upper-level Cirrus formation also flies above that layer, shining. The sun sets behind these Cirrus. In the bottom-fifth, the reflective ocean waves pour in far below and beyond to the horizon.

    … higher clouds at sunset. Post-sunset, underneath the clouds, the light is caught. Moving to the right, a gradual clearing of glowing mid-level clouds give way to Cirrus clouds still bright in the sunset light in the upper-right half of the frame.

  • 1 of 3 | Sliding over mountain past green bushes and above the fog layer at dusk

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Facing east at sunset on a mountain landscape, the fog appears to very slowly roil on the foot of the mountain in a lack of wind, and the camera moves perceptively on a dolly leftwards. The sky comprises a quarter of the frame and is a spectrum of reds to blues, brightening towards the right of the frame. The mountainous butte on the left of the frame is snow covered.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    6 seconds and 26 frames.

  • 3 of 7 | Napali Coast beach sunset scene

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    On the way to sunset in Kauai, by the Napali Coast, multiple layers of clouds move. These clouds quickly roil away from the camera and seemingly following the headlands are on the medium side of density, but they do not need to be heavy to foretell rain is on the way when it’s so humid. Observe the distant layer of headlands which seems to be different layer in the background, slightly glowing. This is due to the moisture in the air. The beach is visible on a small area of the lower left, and the ocean has many small waves rushing in.
