Complex Clouds, Magnificent Magical Tantalizing Textures, Span Sunset - IMRAN®

Complex Clouds, Magnificent Magical Tantalizing Textures, Span Sunset - IMRAN®

Words can barely capture the incredibly complex cloud textures and tones that spanned the early August sunset over Tampa Bay. Earlier rain had made the pavers around the pool look darker. 

This HDR (high dynamic range) panorama was created from about eight handheld shots taken with the Nikon D850, stitched together in Adobe Lightroom Classic CC.

On one side, sharp clouds carved dramatic shapes, while in the middle, higher formations smoothed into silky, fog-like patterns. Even farther above, smaller distant shapes reflected the fading sun’s light, deepening the scene into darker, redder tones.

I chose not to “correct” those hues, because they lend the image an indescribable richness—one that others often chase with filters, but nature gifted me directly.

Magnificent Late October Tampa Bay Sunset Five Years Ago At Apollo Beach Home 360°x360° - IMRAN™

Magnificent Late October Tampa Bay Sunset Five Years Ago At Apollo Beach Home 360°x360° - IMRAN™

This perfect moment of tranquility was captured with 2GB worth of Nikon D850 handheld photos. It was autumn and the last week of October 2018 was coming up.

I took exactly 4 dozen photos as accurately as I could, trying to keep my hands steady and arms level. I did that while turning full 360 three times hoping to not move too much from the spot I started at. I wanted to catch all the details top to bottom, and all around, even though some of the edges get messed up when handheld photos are stitched. 

It is ironic that 2GB of photos must be reduced into a 5MB or so image for Facebook to accept. In the full image, especially on a large screen TV, you would see this 30,000 x 150,000 pixels image as if you were standing here next to me.

You can see my Yamaha WaveRunner jet ski, which was lost after a storm a few years later. The DJI Phantom 4 drone stood on dock ready on deck  for a sunset flight. 

A boat was passing my dock heading home. This was just four months before I would get Kennedy, my German Shepherd Dog you all know, as well as K2 a year after that.

Winds (Of) Change (On) Tampa Bay Florida - IMRAN™ (Timelapse Music Video)

Winds (Of) Change (On) Tampa Bay Florida - IMRAN™

(Timelapse Music Video)

Yes, wordplay intended. Winds of Change are all around Tampa Bay, Florida. And, yes, see the winds change ON Tampa Bay, and see how the winds change Tampa Bay waters' colors, textures, waves, and moods.

This was supposed to be a longer dramatic music video but a timer setting error meant it was only recorded as a 2.5-seconds timelapse. That is too short to post anywhere. So I slowed it down a little bit. That makes it 7-8 seconds so a little less shockingly twister-like as the original short recording is.

But you can see the drama. You can literally see the invisible wind visibly change right in front of your eyes. Watch the clouds initially swirl and twist perpendicular to the usual shape of twisters. See how they stretch along the East-West line but travel south to north.

But then, within seconds even in real-time, a massive shift in wind occurs and the clouds head towards the house and head east. Watch again just to see how the palm trees indicate the brute force of the shift. Dramatic nature!

Inauguration Day 2021 Magic Floating By On Tampa Bay Sunset Clouds - IMRAN™

Inauguration Day 2021 Magic Floating By On Tampa Bay Sunset Clouds - IMRAN™ 

Enjoy 30 seconds of tranquility and peace in this timelapse sunset music video. 

This was the first sunset after the inauguration of Joe Biden as President of the United States. A sense, and hope, of a return to normalcy, was in the air as the magic floated in the air of these colorful clouds crossing over my blessed home at sunset. 

I just hit a couple of keys on the Korg WaveStation keyboard to add random music to the video in a quick music-video. This is a sound I plan to use in a track in my next music album.

Like, love, comment, share the music video!

60 Seconds Mind-Blowing Tampa Bay Boating Sunset (Nikon D850 Music Video) - IMRAN™

60 Seconds Mind-Blowing Tampa Bay Boating Sunset (Nikon D850 Music Video) - IMRAN™ 

Two jet skis race by as a cargo container sidles past the exquisite colors of this sunset. Enjoy the 1-minute music video. 

Full-fledged DSLR cameras like the Nikon D850 can take some great pictures as you have seen. Video recording ability was one of the reasons I waited for this model. But it is very hard to do handheld casual videos, especially when trying to manually zoom in by rotating the tight barrel of the 70-300mm Nikkor lens. 

It leads to a twisting motion on the hand holding the camera, and the video will show those movements. But still, I had wanted to zoom in on the mind-blowing colors of this sunset on Tampa Bay. This was at my blessed home in Apollo Beach, Florida.

Incredible Inspirational Ideas Terrific Timelapse Tampa Bay Boating Beautiful Sunset Scene Shared - IMRAN™

Incredible Inspirational Ideas Terrific Timelapse Tampa Bay Boating Beautiful Sunset Scene Shared - IMRAN™ (Inspiration Words, Music Video)

A foreboding mood settled on the horizon while the bright blue sky above tried to liven it up below. The deep red bled from the sky was bleeding into the melting gold, like the way men throughout history have shed the blood of others to gain wealth and power. The onshore wind slapped the water into a persistent pattern of little crests and troughs, each a tiny tempest in its own world, yet totally insignificant on the ocean of time.  The palm trees danced a frenzied dance wanting to fly responding to the wild wind but rooted forever in the circumstance of their existence. Yet, it all comes together, like a miracle, when all these elements, and forces of light and dark, movement and stillness, unite to hasten the end of the darkness, in preparation for a new day's dawn shared by all of them. All of us. Let us unite again, as Americans, as Pakistanis, as earth-dwellers, and as humans, to start a new chapter before the end of the year.
I hope you enjoy this music video The horizon was a little more darkly cloudy than I would have preferred for it to be a long drawn out colors sunset and dusk. But who am I to complain when the result is still so much to be grateful for. This is a timelapse video made from literally almost 2000 individual photos taken by the Nikon D850. Each image was 25-30 MB so that would have taken forever to process. I just wanted to test how the results would be, so I actually made this from images just 5-10% of the original size.

1 Minute Tampa Bay Florida Stunning Red Sunset Boating Livestream - IMRAN™

1 Minute Tampa Bay Florida Stunning Red Sunset Boating Livestream - IMRAN™
I just wanted to do a quick, barely one minute, livestream to play for you tonight's sunset. It was SO red against a pink sky that even the Nikon D850, which I did not get a chance to change the settings of from a photoshoot last night, was showing the red sun as golden yellow. But the much greater detail is obvious when you see the small bird sitting atop the channel marker. © 2019 IMRAN™

Lovers Cry Out In Unison At Dusk, As Pelican At Singing Sunset Hovers Like Humming Birds - IMRAN™

Lovers Cry Out In Unison At Dusk, As Pelican At Singing Sunset Hovers Like Humming Birds - IMRAN™

Sunsets sometimes sing silently, as flapping pelicans in a chorus hover across the crescendos of red and gold clouds,. The dusk settles into its gentle chorus, singing a sweet lullaby of love and passion, odes to dreams and desires, unloading beams of lights and hard shafts of shadows, as the sultry night serenades the hot sun, and the wetness of Tampa Bay is coated in the hues of solitude, soaking in the whiteness of life into the blend of ecstasy, Come, my loves, be mine, at sunset, where fantasy becomes reality, and reality becomes you, and you become mine.

I used the Nikon D850 video mode. Because I had to twist the zoom lens by hand in a few places you will see the video wiggle. But what gorgeous colors at this place I am blessed to live in.

Come, experience the magic with me.
