  • Over no horizon, lower cumulus and upper-level clouds

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Exemplar of towering clouds. These are called Cumulus congestus. If the clouds were closer together (greater humidity) or the air was a little warmer, a thunderstorm would have formed. Later in the day, these clouds did form a storm. One gets the impression that these clouds, when experienced in the morning or around noon, are a fair indicator of rain or lightning to come shortly. Visually observing these clouds closely allows the observer the ability to predict rainfall with higher accuracy than a weather forecast or radar alone.

    Scene notes:

    …builds in the early day’s blue sky. A rock feature of sharp relief on the far left of the frame borders the foothills of the mountains, where Pike’s Peak is fully cloaked in growing lower clouds. A hazy morning near noon, the near landscape is cultivated greenery and roadways with signs of people walking around. The far view shows green forests and hills spanning into a cloudy horizon in Colorado.

  • Rapid dusk and fast pink windy multilayers

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    There are vibrant and pink-gold midlevel clouds around 10,000 feet, or 3,000 m. Almost half the upper left frame is occupied by the vaporous clouds at their level where the sun is still shining. At the lower levels two thirds of the way to ground, the sun has already passed behind other clouds. These medium to heavy lower clouds move in from the right against the upper levels which move opposite. The scene darkens as the clip progresses past the halfway point, but small areas of distant sky persist into blue hour.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    13 seconds and 5 frames.

  • Sunset and dusk over cloudless skies in a meadow

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    In a sky that is perfectly clear of clouds, a small mountain valley with a single ridgeline sloping downwards gently further in the distance, which is lit by the sun slightly longer than the foreground. The sky quickly turns dark into a night sky, with lights from cars on a road passing, and planes flying. Over the course of the clip, several hours pass. Facing east at sunset and blue hour is less typical if this collection.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    16 seconds and 6 frames.

  • 2 of 2 | Behind trees, a small fog blanket rolls on Lake Tahoe at sunrise

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    In the distance over Lake Tahoe, a fog bank is rolling. In the sky, clouds and crisscrossing contrails are illuminated around 40,000 ft in the morning sun, when colors change fastest (with the exception of dusk). The chardonnay yellows of the horizon and bluish-purple of the deep sky this dawn are on display.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 11 frames.
