Scene notes:
…mid-level clouds at sunrise. UAS hovering at altitude at dawn. Altocumulus Castellanus are ideal
clouds for creating light rays that persist. First, their presence in the sky indicates moisture at
the medium levels. As droplets glow in the sunlight, areas of thicker cloud create the shade
necessary for the ‘light ray’ to show with definition. Since Castellanus clouds have these small
patches of thick density, stark sunbeams are cast toward the camera’s general point of view.
