High above the clouds on the ancient extinct volcano, where clouds change in the late afternoon.
SKU/clip number: PRC055
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
10 seconds.
A dawn rain cloud backlit with brilliant colors as a few of the mid-level clouds show unusual curves
due to precipitation, which is responsible for the glow. Just the right amount of rainfall, a very
light amount, is enough to bring out the brilliant golds, however briefly, ending on much bluer
colors due to the sun ‘going behind’ clouds which moved between it and the point of view.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
8 seconds and 8 frames.

…from the center point of view, geysers release steam under pink sky. Road is visible with
headlights. Yellowstone National Park. High clouds like cirrus are in the evening sky.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 10 frames.
Cumulus at dusk on peaks and overhead. While the sun has set behind the mountains because of their
height, actual sunset has not occurred, so the clouds’ are not brightly lit with reds. The
continuation of another clip. The camera’s orientation and position has been adjusted.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
7 seconds and 25 frames.
…Clouds still lit from below. Hovering above the city (bottom-right) Sacramento. Mid-level clouds
with light from below the horizon’s sunlight.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
10 seconds.
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.
…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.
