Low clouds are attempting to build on the Grand Tetons in the early daylight. The peaks are low on
glacial ice, due to late summer.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
6 seconds and 26 frames.
… Backlit by the sun making stark contrast, undulating. These low-level clouds move along a wind left-to-right, transforming as they go. Stark backlighting is necessary when capturing crepuscular rays and shadows to preserve highlights. Two or three separate bands of cloud are evident in the lower half of the frame, the largest of which show signs of nearing future precipitation, with the upper half containing smaller patches of varying density overhead. Length at 30 fps: Seven seconds and nine frames.
Needles District, Canyonlands. The meadow has a towering rock formation silhouette (right) against
the evening sky which has a sliver or portal of open blue throughout. The mostly cloudy sky has areas
of golden, glowing rain clouds that move overhead.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 17 frames.
… the slopes and loiter on almost no wind. One may assume on first viewing a few seconds of watching
the stratus is inevitably going to override the sky, but that does not happen; instead, the clouds
are caught and created on the mountain peaks. Four snowy peaks, with one dominating the left quarter,
in deep snow, are intermittently covered. The other three have sheer faces too steep for any snow to
cling to. The light turns pinker as time moves on.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
22 seconds and 14 frames.
Time-lapse length (30 fps): A short-lived fog bank pushed by cold air flowing down the snowy
mountains, while Nimbostratus is above.

An original, recently remastered time-lapse of the sky with clouds.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
8 seconds and 3 frames.
Filling the sky at dawn are Cirrocumulus clouds. Out of the frame and over the horizon, other clouds
block out the light in the second half of the clip. Grapefruit colors and pinks shine on the
upper-level clouds as a one second interval is used to create a longer clip.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
32 seconds and 8 frames.
… level with low wind, transformation. Once an active volcano, this profile captures its dome shape
that is prominent from this green meadow. These gentle slopes seem like the only way to traverse the top
without technical gear. This morning sky has no clouds. A three second interval is used. The meadow
is around one quarter of the frame, and a tree line has a variety of broadleaf and evergreens, while
the mountain itself looks solid green from trees. A stable blanket of ground-fog moves left-right,
slowly meandering, with a few fragments closer and higher in the frame.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
16 seconds and 1 frame.
