  • 1 of 2 | Late day Yosemite winter transforming into sunset

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A winter view of Yosemite valley: a very small stratus of fog on El Capitan’s ridge plays slowly as the shadows rise at an also slow pace. The water of Bridalveil Falls still pours near the right of the frame, mostly shadowed by the land at clip’s end. Evergreen trees reside on every surface that is not too steep to grow on, and the valley becomes Tenaya Canyon further out, snow becoming more fulsome.

    11 seconds and 2 frames.

  • A thunderstorm cloud high in the sky and in..

    Scene notes:

    In the distance, transforming on convective currents. Very strong convection is shown building upwards and towards the point of view. Rain came shortly after the end of the clip. The pines and other tropical trees make the horizon on the very bottom of the frame. The storm towers many thousands of feet into the sky.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    15 seconds and 13 frames.

  • Sunset with shade growing on Half Dome, Yosemite Valley from Glacier Point

    Scene notes:

    The sunset on Yosemite Valley. The shadows of the nearby mountains and ridges fall on Half Dome last, with colors shifting redder with time. Facing east towards Cloud’s Rest in the distance.

  • 3 of 3 | On Mt Pilatus by Lucerne, Switzerland, clouds on lake below with boats moving

    Scene notes:

    Looking out onto Lake Lucerne from Esel, near the peak of Mt Pilatus. Just above orographically-influenced Cumulus clouds just below, with vapor beginning to pile onto the steep surfaces and sheer face of the peak.

    Scene notes:

    … on the wind in Yellowstone by a river with high contrast. A one second interval is used to capture the venting of these geysers in winter. With the colder temperature, more steam is visible, moving very quickly, in similar ways to a towering cloud on a small scale. A river runs through the lower portion of the frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    15 seconds and 22 frames.

  • 3 of 3 | Night skyline of Miami dwarfed under

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    … reddish-tinged clouds from city lights as they pass by over. Demonstrating the power of city lights in the night sky, long exposures show the bright illumination of passing rain clouds. These clouds are too stable or short to create lightning, but can make massive precipitation, as is nearly every day in the summer in this part of the state of Florida. Their massive size is shadowed but easily seen in the upper-right. Helicopters or light airplanes are seen flying along the skyline’s altitude.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 1 frame.

  • Different cloud levels and densities in a blue-sky on the wind transforming on time

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A clip of Cumulus clouds (the lowest), Altocumulus clouds (the middle height level), and Cirrus of various kinds, such as Cirrocumulus. An example of how clouds also can move in different directions, the cerulean blue-sky has high air quality as the smaller clouds meander around.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    15 seconds.
