Cumulus at dusk on peaks and overhead. While the sun has set behind the mountains because of their height, actual sunset has not occurred, so the clouds’ are not brightly lit with reds. The continuation of another clip. The camera’s orientation and position has been adjusted.

Scene notes: …with low meandering or desert wind. In this rapidly brightening scene that takes place in the high desert of southeast California, upper-level clouds brighten past the exposure as the sky quickly brightens. Extremely fine and subtle details of the lower parts of these mid-level clouds are illuminated from below the horizon. This is due to the fact that the Earth, round, allows the light to enter into the atmosphere at angles low. This light is shown as reddening through atmosphere, with the distinctive pinkness of a sunrise.

…mid-level clouds at sunrise. UAS hovering at altitude at dawn. Altocumulus Castellanus are ideal clouds for creating light rays that persist. First, their presence in the sky indicates moisture at the medium levels. As droplets glow in the sunlight, areas of thicker cloud create the shade necessary for the ‘light ray’ to show with definition. Since Castellanus clouds have these small patches of thick density, stark sunbeams are cast toward the camera’s general point of view.

Scene notes:
A nearly five second clip of a sun setting far in the distant hills behind a city’s skyline. A highway is seen with traffic moving on it far into the shaded urban landscape below, complete with the UC Davis Health Center and hospital, traffic light quickly alternating traffic flow. The UAS captures two thirds of the sky in the upper frame. Behind clouds, the shadows demonstrate a takeover of the sky, where the sunlight once glowed on the lower fringes of these mid-level clouds.

Scene notes:
…under cirrus, cirro-cumulus after sunset, flowing high elevation clouds. At these elevations, clouds are formed with tiny frozen crystals. As the movement is demonstrated in the one most aesthetically pleasing cloud, there is a flowing that is unique to the temperature of the cloud, highlighted with beautiful pinks. Sunsets like these where the sky illuminates clouds ‘from below’ prove the Earth is a sphere and not flat. The sunlight would be abruptly blocked by a sudden end to the Earth’s crust if it ended somewhere in the ocean. Instead, the light goes through more and more atmosphere the higher it reaches into the sky, until the sun sets from the cloud’s perspective as well.
