    Scene notes:

    … is seen in deep dark colors of stars 1 of 2. Above a cloud which is caught on the mountain it shrouds this night, the stars whirl. The low cloud has motion blur due to the exposure length. The clouds roll leftward at high speed, only the slightest outline is illuminated by moonlight. The Milky Way is slightly visible. There are at least four airplanes that speed through the night.

    Do not watch if you have had an epileptic seizure; if using in a project, include a similar content warning as a best-practice. An ad-free, 720p, 30 fps preview of this clip to stream and play for your consideration.

    Scene notes:

    Ominous, towering, coming towards the point of view. These night clouds, partly shrouded by mid and high-level clouds, would not seem so intimidating if they are not flashing with cloud-to-cloud lightning- different from heat or sheet lightening, cloud-to-cloud lightening is full-power energy release, only it never touches the ground. That’s the main difference in the name of this versus cloud-to-ground. The city orange lights illuminate stratus and silhouette the growing clouds which appear to light up from within, naturally strong light pollution from a large city.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    18 seconds and 13 frames.

    Scene notes:

  • Very dark thunderstorm rolls into the late afternoon over Canyonlands desert

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A clip divided by an exposure adjustment. The storm (right)moves into view as the daylight wanes, and the desert landscape with its red clay dims. In the distance three sharply pointed hills have eroded to the point where one tiny peak stands out on each mound, rock piles evenly spread around from crumbling.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 21 frames.

  • A thin cloud cover overlaps the night sky above mountains in bottom fifth

    Scene notes:

    A 50mm lens at open aperture (f1.4). Far above a mountain peak, a mid-level cloud layer gradually works its way into the frame, silhouetted in the dark night sky. Coma (comatic aberration) is present at moderate levels.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 13 frames.
