Surely and steadily, the white mass of warm water vapor grows and spreads out in the typical garden
variety daytime storm of a tropical climate. SKU/clip number: DAY339
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
15 seconds.
A clip divided by an exposure adjustment. The storm (right)moves into view as the daylight wanes, and
the desert landscape with its red clay dims. In the distance three sharply pointed hills have eroded to
the point where one tiny peak stands out on each mound, rock piles evenly spread around from
crumbling.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
7 seconds and 21 frames.
…builds in the early day’s blue sky. A rock feature of sharp relief on the far left of the frame
borders the foothills of the mountains, where Pike’s Peak is fully cloaked in growing lower clouds. A
hazy morning near noon, the near landscape is cultivated greenery and roadways with signs of people
walking around. The far view shows green forests and hills spanning into a cloudy horizon in
Colorado.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
11 seconds.
…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.
… water vapor as mist obscuring around a massive storm building in the mid-day sun. An original,
recently remastered time-lapse of the sky with clouds.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
7 seconds.
…behind it and the mountains it rains on below. Crepuscular rays through thick cloud cover openings
shifting rapidly on the mountains.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
22 seconds and 17 frames.
Ominous, towering, coming towards the point of view. These night clouds, partly shrouded by mid and
high-level clouds, would not seem so intimidating if they are not flashing with cloud-to-cloud
lightning- different from heat or sheet lightening, cloud-to-cloud lightening is full-power energy
release, only it never touches the ground. That’s the main difference in the name of this versus
cloud-to-ground. The city orange lights illuminate stratus and silhouette the growing clouds which
appear to light up from within, naturally strong light pollution from a large city.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
18 seconds and 13 frames.
A single, silhouetted cloud at the left of the frames is absolutely dwarfed in comparison to very
active electrical storm. It grows rapidly as it nears the point of view. At lower right, the palm trees
are by the side of the road, which lights from cars pass by rapidly.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
11 seconds and 2 frames.
