On complex red sandstone formations, shadows shift intermittently and then for the end duration as
the sun sets. Facing east, with mid-level Castellanus clouds appearing to move away as the camera
physically pans to the right, where shrublands lay before the stones.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 15 frames.
The landscape is two-thirds of the frame, a forest of hills and ridges which extend into a vast
plain. The humid air allows the radiant intensity to glow on these lands, the vapor both absorbs and
emits some of the light in all directions. The sun moves lower into the dusk behind the horizon,
leaving Cirrus clouds illuminated red and pink from below, and then, night falls.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 14 frames.
… Airport, SFO at night under rainy clouds. The continuation of another clip (the camera has been
moved). The airplane traffic (bottom right) zips by more frequently, landing at the airport. Other
air traffic is seen. The city lights take up a sliver of the bottom of the frame. The

Pink light on the mid-level clouds. Strong radiant light passes through the atmosphere to create
underlighting for the slow clouds overhead with no horizon in frame.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 4 frames.
… through a forest with clouds building above. A creek flows through a Colorado forest with a
butte-sized land feature in the background (right) showing between the opening of trees at the
river’s command. Clouds float and meander, building, above. The evergreen coniferous forest is just
behind the large creek crossing, which has stones and boulders throughout. The creek is rushing in
the sunlight after shadows from the clouds clear.

25 seconds and 17 frames.
…out and high clouds moving rapidly, moonlit The full moon rises behind high clouds. The view from
this light is dynamic, made more so by smoke from nearby fires. The smoke is seen as a nebulous
cloud, only thinly veiling this view. Stars are seen above the clouds. How is this a moonrise? The
long exposure of the individual frames allows for more light to be captured in the image, enough to
be of comparable levels to a sunrise at certain times. The view of the canyon is deep, the point of
view is from Duck on a Rock viewpoint facing northeast.

8 seconds and 13 frames.
The sunset from Pike Creek Vista, Grand Canyon. The northwestward view shows the canyon stretching
vast distances under the sky, which comprises the top quarter of the frame. Mid-level clouds shape
the light above while the landscape shades itself, cliffs and precipices in the dark. The sun
disappears below the horizon in this darkening scene. Original footage from 2005.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 13 frames.
The full moon, low in the sky, passes through low-density clouds as it rises from the night horizon,
light filtered through the extra atmosphere. It moves upwards and towards the right of the frame.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
10 seconds and 20 frames.
