  • Low density smoke cloud from controlled burn in Willamette Valley

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Controlled burning ends far below and demonstrates a smoke cloud begins rapidly dissipating among clean air below Cirrus clouds, far in the green farm and forest valleys below.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 1 frame.

  • 1 of 3 | Late day high contrast with Lenticular cloud facing east

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    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.

  • On sand dunes with the ocean far off in distance, grasses under upper Cirrus cloud

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    European beach grass imported to protect the sand dunes of an Oregon beach 90 years ago. If left unchecked, the grass will change the dunes into woodland. High Cirrus clouds slowly move overhead. A small portion of the frame reveals the ocean (left).
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 22 frames.

  • Light upper-level clouds float over Mt Whitney in a natural auditorium

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    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.

    Scene notes:

    European beach grass dominates the frame, the mid-level clouds in the top-right third of the frame, and sand in the lower quarter of the frame, shaded by the clouds on and off.

    7 seconds and 6 frames.
