Scene notes:
On a precipice with no land in sight as the fog flows below and around the POV. The sun sets below the horizon in the distance, and it is now dusk.

Dawn over water, a partial rainbow over inlet, near Svalbarðseyri, and Akureyri, Iceland

Scene notes:
On a hill view just north of Akureyri, Iceland. Looking across the inlet to mountainous landscapes in a fog layer of stratus cloud. The low clouds move along, and a partial rainbow briefly forms in the sky from precipitation. The dawn is pinkish on the low clouds, facing west at sunrise, away from the sun. A three second interval is used.

Scene notes: … of light rays through darker clouds slowly shifting. This is a slower clip with a very short interval and faster shutter speed. Crepuscular rays shine when there is a higher humidity in one area, but not necessarily very humid in the entire observable atmosphere around the observer. As the clouds move, the shadows defining the light rays move with them. The rays trace a path from the sun to the ground, and to the observer, the angles shift more the further the light path reaches from the sun.

Scene notes:
…light rays through darker clouds slowly shifting. Because of a small patch of open sky, the sun breaks free into the valley below in between dense cloud cover of Cumulus type. Far in the distance is the barely visible horizon, which is cloaked in cloud shadow. This is the second clip in a scene of a few that were taken within the same 90 minutes.

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.

Shadows rising on San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge…

Scene notes:
…overbright areas fade as the sun sets away from the point-of-view. Looking east in the late afternoon, you can observe ‘the City’ from afar, behind the long red bridge. Wind on water currents make ripples, as is the traffic on the 101 Highway that spans the bridge. Shadows become longer as the sun sets first on the foreground grassy slopes, and then the ocean bay.

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.
