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 length (30 fps):
19 seconds.
… 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.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 12 frames.
… with waves flowing on rocks below. Cerulean sky above, the ocean below as we are over the water.
The headlands of the coast are clear at points, as are the stones that make the shore so rocky. At
about 300ft (or 100m) altitude, waves look small as they crash below. The deep blue see stretches
into the north where the fog is already gone from the daylight heating, but the landscape makes fog
formation here more likely.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 12 frames.
… with waves flowing on rocks below. The UAS moves towards a monolith among an outcrop of stone and
shallow beach waves. A full motion clip with no interval of photos. Just beyond the monolith is a fog
bank that is slowly moving towards the camera, with smaller wisps moving over the rocky shore.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
1 minute, 6 seconds and 17 frames.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
24 seconds and 20 frames
The UAS floats and moves slowly over the ocean at sunset without focusing on the sun. A light haze
tones the highlights to moderated brightness. Not time-lapse. No interval, since the source is
video.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
33 seconds and 16 frames
… over waves, with takeoff from the ground. As is evident by watching, no interval is used, since the
source is video that is full motion.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
1 minute, 29 seconds and 26 frames.
A continuation of another clip (not in chronological order). The clouds will begin to glow as the sun comes
out. High clouds cast shadows on the background headlands until the sun goes ‘below’ them in the sky. When
this occurs, the foreground beach and ocean, as well as the middle and parts of the background, come fully
into light. The clouds high in the sky are Cirrus.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
14 seconds and 8 frames.
