Precipitation as rain is observable approaching Wizard Hat Island (right). The light shines on the
ripples of water on the lake as the wind blows more randomly than the cloud shadows move. The huge
fresh-water lake has a winter landscape on the opposing rim.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
5 seconds and 18 frames.
Physically panning right on Mono Lake, past a tufa tower to the lake’s blue water with clouds moving
overhead, a desert landscape in the distance.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
6 seconds and 4 frames.
…with rocky hills on meadows, mixed clouds. A rock step, a distant cliff near a hilltop, is evident
left in the background, above green meadows, and other multiple layers of clouds, the shadows
move.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
5 seconds and 28 frames.
Mountains in the background under cloud cover, Mt Whitney appears smaller than the surrounding peaks
in the frame, but only because its distance is greater than the peak at left. Complex cloud
gatherings and movements in the air above the camera. Scene continues in Dawn and Dusk.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
6 seconds and 21 frames.
Lenticular cloud formations, underneath higher Cirrus clouds, shift and meander in the late day sky,
far above a desert valley, a quarter of the frame.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
7 seconds and 4 frames.
Cirrus clouds float undisturbed over aretḗ (French for this terrain feature which has no English
counterpart) mountain peaks (center). The southern facing cliffs (right) are largely free of snow,
while others still retain a great deal of it. Cornices shed fresh snow in high wind (middle peaks).
The sky comprises a third of the frame, with the sun visible late clip.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
7 seconds and 16 frames.
…clouds float by overhead and on mountains. White-trunked, orange and yellow Aspens are the dominant
color shown in this grove that lives on the foothills of snowy mountains of the Sierras, which are
steeped in low, fluffy clouds which move steadily through but also linger on the cliffs. The lower
left third of the frame has shrubs and sagebrush.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
6 seconds and 22 frames.
The camera pans to the right. A larger aperture depth-of-field is shown. On the mountainsides,
delicate clouds condense momentarily and evaporate as quickly, small and insignificant in size. Other
low-level and some mid-level stratus clouds are also present. Shrubs with yellow flowers comprise
much of the fore and middle ground.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
8 seconds.
