Yellowflag Iris in the shifting woods on a hillside
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
In the woods late afternoon. A large bundle of mature Yellowflag Iris in the breeze under the shifting tree shadows. A few small white flowers are also seen on the forest floor. Blue sky can be seen in between the forest trees. The evergreen trees are blown in a gentle wind, which is reflected in the movements of the shadows and plants of the foreground. Late in the clip, shadows have moved onto the blossoms.

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.

Ocean sunset with full motion
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Right before the sun sets, the ocean is captured in full motion, hovering 10m, or about 30ft above the ground. Intervalometry: none in this clip. This is a full motion clip using a ‘UAS’ (unmanned aerial system) that is approximately ten seconds.

Time-lapse on beach under partly cloudy skies…

Scene notes:
… with multiple layers of colorful glowing clouds at dusk. Looking up from a beach on Kauai, there are different cloud layers to be seen above. As the sky darkens, the upper-level clouds are illuminated from below. These small rain showers are common on the island chain where surface heating makes them bloom in the sun during daylight and dissipate at night. The lower storm cloud is raining moderately out-of-frame.

Rainbow on Hawaii coastline and jungle mountains
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
…with beach in foreground. Kauai is the furthest west island of the Hawaiian chain, and on the furthest western beaches, nature has been left to prevail; although trucks ride on this lesser known beach, it has a big enough area to accommodate the people enjoying the solitude and beauty that is reminiscent of prehistory. A rainbow stretches and begins its second bow as conditions are nearing perfect for this formation; the rain is at the right distance with the sun being at the correct angle in the sky near sunset. As the day grows older the rainbow is more likely to appear, until a period before sunset when it is very likely to encounter clouds on the horizon, as it was apparent in this scene to the observant during filming using two or three second intervals.

Scene notes:
Castellanus clouds (castle top clouds) are named for their towering appearance; these mid-level clouds have the most intricate and brilliant lighting while shapeshifting above the wild forest hills at sunset, oranges, golds, pinks, purples, and pale blues.
