    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.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 17 frames.

    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.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds and 18 frames.
