  • Mount Rainier with light clouds on its southern face

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A majestic mountain, Mt Rainier has a batch of Cumulus clouds on two flanks this sunny morning. Shadows from them moving over the snow. These are their normal altitudes. The dormant volcano rears up above the alpine, snowy meadow of the foreground. The clouds find the mountain insurmountable, and minuscule cars are seen in the middle of the frame, adding slightly to the interest. A three second interval is used.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    38 seconds and 4 frames.

    Scene notes:

    Rocky Mountain National Park on a partly cloudy day looking east from a viewpoint with towering clouds just off in the distance, their shadows quickly traversing the landscape as it becomes cloudier.

    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    20 seconds.

  • Beyond and below the trees are fog blankets, dimly lit by the ambient dusk

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Many clips of Precipice are like one another, and some share the same scene at different times. All Precipice clips take place on a steep drop-off, even if that drop is out of frame. They all have in common a cloud or fog layer either at below the point of view’s elevation and are at or near sunset.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 13 frames.

  • Alpine meadow under cloud shadows on grassy meadow and evergreens

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    On Mt June, in Oregon, this alpine meadow shows shadows from clouds that are outside the frame moving towards the camera. A few humans walk past. The shadows move steadily up the hill as low-density, light clouds in the top four tenth of the frame meander along harmlessly.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds and 17 frames.
