Light showers and shallow convective clouds above the Vltava River at sunset and dusk. Captured from the fortification walls of Vyšehrad Castle, Prague, Czech Republic. Because of strong, gusty (and cold) wind it was necessary to hold the tripod most of the time. Brrrr....

Sunset above Prague's historic center (Malá Strana, Hradčany). Time-lapse series like this one, or those from January 11 and 21 (above), with highly variable light conditions need to be shot using automatic exposure. In all other cases, whenever possible I prefer to use manual exposure camera settings (M mode) resulting in somewhat better quality (smoother video, less "flicker").

Wave clouds at middle cloud levels, altocumulus and cirrus clouds, contrails and their shadows, and eventually a sunset, all from a window of my office. Notice namely a different propagation of the cloud waves and of the clouds that compose these themselves. Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMI), Prague Libuš.

First more interesting storms of this year above central Bohemia. Captured from the fortification walls of Vyšehrad Castle, Prague, Czech Republic (view to north-east). Unfortunately after 10 minutes of exposure I turned the camera a different way, where I was (wrongly) expecting more interesting storm development. You can use this case to test a compatibility of your computer with the three used compression formats.

Wave clouds and wind shear above High Tatra Mts. The lowest clouds (Cu) are flowing from the North (from right to the left in these images), while middle-level clouds (Ac) are flowing from the West, to the observation site. The fuzzy-looking clouds are a manifestation of waves in the wind flowing across a mountain range. Captured from Lomnické sedlo above Malá studená dolina, High Tatra Mts., Slovakia.
