  • 1 of 3 | Full motion time-lapse of blue-sky clouds straight above

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Cumulus clouds above shift in complex air patterns.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    1 minute, 47 seconds.

  • 1 of 3 | Aurora Borealis are the Northern Lights

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    … which strobe, creep, and flow in the night sky. Comprised of charged particles, the lights are playing on the magnetism of the Earth. Mid-level stratus clouds are lit by town lights far away. Long exposures and low ‘coma’ (comatic aberration).
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    30 seconds and 15 frames.

  • High above clouds and volcanic landscapes

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    … rolling cumuliform clouds into beyond. The clouds far below show signs of weak convection. The volcanic landscape is silhouetted, sloping slightly for a distance before dropping off. The stratus layer below flows slowly towards the right, while the lifting air currents run counter for their cycle above the layer below.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    29 seconds and 55 frames.

  • Marine layer over hills that are blanketing

    Scene notes:

    … the forest above Mill Valley and on Mt Tamalpais. Similar at a first glance to a creek in long exposures, fog flowing central of frame takes the shapes of running water, while remaining gaseous vapor. The layer that came in from the ocean runs far into the horizon. Even very far away on the horizon, headlands rise slightly above the stratus. Playback length at 30 fps: 25 seconds.

  • Far above congestus clouds at sunset, rolling and losing thermal energy

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The continuation of a clip from Day. 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):
    20 seconds and 12 frames.

  • Late afternoon on a hillside, fog stirs behind trees

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The south flank of the top of Spencer Butte, with no sky shown, only fog lapping against the right-side of the forest just below, near sundown. A trail or two leads down to a few Atlas Cedars before the tree line, and a rocky foreground is above a grassy hillside slope.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    14 seconds and 6 frames.

  • Slowly rolling in, a fog layer in the morning flowed tepidly through trees below

    Scene notes:

    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):
    7 seconds and 17 frames.

  • Delicate day clouds move slowly directly overhead mid-day, longest clip

    Scene notes:

    This full-motion clip points nearly straight up at passing fluffy Cumulus clouds, every complex air movement of the outside of these clouds is observable against the blue sky. This is the longest clip of the collection.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    2 minutes, 13 seconds and 13
