Scene notes:
Over sand dunes with shrublands on the right. The shadows of the nearby fog, passing on the ocean breeze, float by quickly as it unexpectedly comes in on return. The dunes don’t show a low amount of human impact- but a definite impact, nonetheless. The sky consists of the top seventh of the frame and is a mix of stratus layers under blue sky. The frame pans downward digitally from the sky.

Scene notes:
…with the yellow sand beach in the foreground. Looking north there is a small Cumulonimbus cloud over the Napali coast. In this short timespan time-lapse there is the light of the sun fading as it goes below the horizon and clouds far away from this beach. The warm day provides plenty of lift and vapor for these clouds, which keep their shapes well as they run into this lifting of air right above the coastline.

Scene notes:
…clouds are illuminated from beyond the horizon, and below. Altocumulus Castellanus are mid-level clouds and have very intricate details, which are highlighted during sunset. A three second interval was used to show the progress of the colors shifting in the all-sky scene which is particularly majestic; these moderately dense clouds are named after the castle tops that sprout from streaking plumes.

Mid-level clouds glow briefly, flowing at dawn with the rain

Scene notes:
A dawn rain cloud backlit with brilliant colors as a few of the mid-level clouds show unusual curves due to precipitation, which is responsible for the glow. Just the right amount of rainfall, a very light amount, is enough to bring out the brilliant golds, however briefly, ending on much bluer colors due to the sun ‘going behind’ clouds which moved between it and the point of view.

Scene notes:
The denser the cloud, the less light the outside areas will allow the light to penetrate through, and this fact is displayed on these towering clouds at sunset. The slower speed is gentler to watch for those who may become motion sickness by watching playback closely. This is an issue for media buyers who have a different experience (after scrutinizing the clip on repeat) than those end-viewers who will only see the clip once. Time-lapse length (at 30 fps):52 seconds and 24 frames.
