  • Shadows rising on San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge…

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    …overbright areas fade as the sun sets away from the point-of-view. Looking east in the late afternoon, you can observe ‘the City’ from afar, behind the long red bridge. Wind on water currents make ripples, as is the traffic on the 101 Highway that spans the bridge. Shadows become longer as the sun sets first on the foreground grassy slopes, and then the ocean bay.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    13 seconds and 20 frames.

  • Morning towering cloud reflections on an ocean

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Morning ‘congestus’ clouds on a body of seawater that is a small bay enclosed by a highway in south Florida on the west coast, near Tampa. This scene takes place early in the day when tropical storms are likely to begin formation depending on humidity and temperature and are not riding on any predominant winds. Over the two large residential buildings, a larger congestus will turn into a rain-making Cumulonimbus later that day. The ocean takes up half the frame. Views in urban areas are limited to available public spaces.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    18 seconds and 11 frames.

  • Late afternoon land sea traffic around Golden Gate

    Scene notes:

    The brick-red Golden Gate Bridge spans the frame, never-ceasing traffic flow pouring through. Under, beyond, and before, ships of all sail, motor, and port into the bay. Observe baby-sized waves on the headlands below, made apparent by the time-lapse.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    26 seconds and 18 frames.

  • Cargo ship exiting bay from Marin Headlands at sunset on ocean

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Looking south-southwest at dusk, post-sunset, towards the Pacific Ocean and Lincoln Park on the opposite end of the bay. Low tide, or wind, is responsible for the water’s direction. At the end of the opposing headlands, Seal Rocks, an outcrop of stones just off the beach, are near the center of the frame. Well past the time of day where details are apparent to the naked eye, the outline of a cargo ship leaves the bay, its lights are on as it begins a sea journey at night. The very steep Marin Headlands, the middle ground, is silhouetted on the ocean, in the lower right.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    15 seconds and 24 frames.

  • From being fully obscured by the morning fog to fair sky, the Golden Gate emerges

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A bright marine fog layer slowly evaporates around the Golden Gate Bridge, a small ship is seen exiting as the fog recedes. The Marin Headlights are exposed to day in the middle ground between this point of view and the bay.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 16 frames.

  • Dawn over water, a partial rainbow over inlet, near Svalbarðseyri, and Akureyri, Iceland

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    On a hill view just north of Akureyri, Iceland. Looking across the inlet to mountainous landscapes in a fog layer of stratus cloud. The low clouds move along, and a partial rainbow briefly forms in the sky from precipitation. The dawn is pinkish on the low clouds, facing west at sunrise, away from the sun. A three second interval is used.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    16 seconds.

  • Late day San Francisco Golden Gate with boats, fog, traffic, shadows rising

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A fog manages to cling to visibility moving into the bay, especially on the left of the frame, and shadows rise from the headlands on the hills. A cargo ship is seen mid-way through the clip exiting the bay. The city is fully visible in the distant left.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    13 seconds and 1 frame.
