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.
…over ocean time-lapse. Intricate and delicate, the underside of these clouds are illuminated minutes after the sun has set to the observer. How is this? The sun is below the horizon to the observer, but not to the sky above. At that moment, you would still see the sun if in an airplane at that height. You would be in its light, as are these clouds. Since these clouds are attached to a storm, their altitude could in fact be 30,000 ft or more. This would make sense, due to the low movement of the delicate parts of the cloud, which would have frozen droplets. Some lower clouds that make up lower thunderstorm bodies have a mix of frozen droplets, gaseous vapor, and liquid.
On a sliver of ocean with distant palm trees silhouetted far away, another younger storm is at the right of the lower frame portion. Blue sky persists in an area that homes other colorful clouds at higher altitudes of 45000 feet, or about 15000 m. The sun sets and the ‘mammatus’ clouds from the storm redden. Time-lapse length (30 fps): 25 seconds and 10 frames.
…fading as clouds move sideward. The continuation of another clip. The exposure settings have been adjusted. Time-lapse length (30 fps): 6 seconds and 19 frames.
Telephoto time-lapse with 1 second interval. The sun is observed at the ocean with a short exposure to capture the shape as it moves behind clouds. The sky is dark once the sun sets. The last few seconds remind one of a liquid droplet as the sun moves through more and more atmosphere on the far edges of visibility. Slivers of a long-distant cloud deep in the Pacific Ocean are completely silhouetted. Time-lapse length (30 fps): 22 seconds and 12 frames.
From a Cyan Blue to a pale dusk color, the sky turns dark at sunset. In foreground at center zooming in is an old oak tree the same color as a Hemlock. In the far background lower frame, coastal hilly shrub lands are shaded in magic hour after the light moves below horizon. Facing south at sunset a Lapis Blue. Time-lapse length (30 fps): 12 seconds and 29 frames.
Bright Cantaloupe highlights in the bright precipitation of these stratus clouds, and Halloween orange colors on the fading rain at right of the frame. Silhouetted bare ridges in the lower quarter, under these clouds that darken in as time progresses, the open sky a perfect Mid-blue. Time-lapse length (30 fps): 10 seconds and 15 frames.
Altocumulus Castellanus are here in the top half of the frame at sunset. Being brilliantly shined upon, they range in color from Grapefruit to shades of pale pink and sharp purple, and the clear areas of sky remain blue, comprising two thirds of the sky. The bottom half has Lake Tahoe, a boat makes an inquisitive entrance and exit, and the water moves with gentle, lapping waves. The other side of the expansive lake is the east sky, with more clouds the further observed. Time-lapse length (30 fps): 9 seconds and 9 frames.
