  • Stark gold light rays slowly move around rolling lower clouds at sunset

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A hole in the cloud cover, and one smaller, scudding cloud in between that and the observer is all it takes for potent light rays to show on the humid air near sunset. The cloud itself creates the shade on the glow and understanding that makes the crepuscular rays logical to understand. The sunlight has radiant intensity, and this shows to the observer the details of the landscape below; trees on vast hills surrounding some countryside and a small pond far away.

  • Sun going down over Icelandic ocean flowing under clouds lit by light

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The ocean flows hundreds of feet below, with the foreground the edge of a grassy cliff, initially comprising four-tenths of the frame. The frame pans upwards as the sun goes down, illuminating some of the stratus clouds from below. They are blown in the strong ocean winds, the same ones pushing the waves far below. The sun is shown going below the horizon. In the distance on the left, another headland of Iceland is apparent.

  • Time-lapse of colorful Altocumulus clouds scattering

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The sun sets below as lower clouds float quickly and change as they make their way past the camera overhead in the illumination of the evening sun, colors shifting as time moves on to the ‘blue hour’.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds and 17 frames.

  • Cargo ship exiting bay from Marin Headlands at sunset on ocean

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Looking south-southwest at dusk, post-sunset, towards the Pacific Ocean and Lincoln Park on the opposite end of the bay. Low tide, or wind, is responsible for the water’s direction. At the end of the opposing headlands, Seal Rocks, an outcrop of stones just off the beach, are near the center of the frame. Well past the time of day where details are apparent to the naked eye, the outline of a cargo ship leaves the bay, its lights are on as it begins a sea journey at night. The very steep Marin Headlands, the middle ground, is silhouetted on the ocean, in the lower right.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    15 seconds and 24 frames.

  • 6 of 7 | Napali Coast beach sunset scene

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A continuation of another clip (not in chronological order). The clouds will begin to glow as the sun comes out. High clouds cast shadows on the background headlands until the sun goes ‘below’ them in the sky. When this occurs, the foreground beach and ocean, as well as the middle and parts of the background, come fully into light. The clouds high in the sky are Cirrus.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    14 seconds and 8 frames.

  • Calm ocean sun goes behind higher level clouds

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The ocean, comprising one quarter of the frame, is uncommonly calm due to the Gulf of Mexico, largely shaped and enclosed from the turbulence of the greater Atlantic Ocean by the peninsula that is Florida. The brighter clouds in the upper layer in the distance on the horizon make a glowing layer as a backdrop to lower mid-level clouds, their shapes delicately and finely lit in the dying sunlight. A duo of humans rapidly pass through the frame in the ocean early in the clip.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    14 seconds and 17 frames.

  • 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.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    14 seconds and 16 frames.
