    Scene notes:

    A one second interval is used to capture a geyser venting steam vapor in the cold morning dawn. In a far meadow, other smaller geysers look like a thin fog bank. Resembling a small pine tree, a lone tree in the foreground stands two-thirds of the frame’s height. A small river runs from center to the bottom-right of the frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):

    Scene notes:

    Last of a series of clips in this scene, the sunlight leaves the view under the horizon, with small sunbeams defined by clouds on the horizon. Gold and glowing, mid-level clouds are brilliantly lit, and under them, the lower-level rain clouds are scattering over the headlands. The ocean is the lower quarter of the frame, and waves are observed on the beach. They’re ignited in reflected light under the ambient light of the sky. The sand of the beach is a space in the corner.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    3 seconds and 11 frames.

  • 1 of 7 | Napali Coast beach sunset scene

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Observing the steep jungle headlands, rain is seen on the glowing cliffs, moving under these glowing lower-level clouds, fluffy formations of warm moisture. The Napali Coast has ancient, walk-able trails. Stretching away in shadow now, the foreground is the beach in the lower left. Trees frame the headlands, also left. At right, the ocean is coming in on gentle fast waves, and ‘altostratus’ move left to right in the upper-frame space. The horizon is a mix of colors, like saffron-mango, and sand. The clear sky areas are a Kashmir-blue.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
