  • Panning w/ red sandstone monoliths at blue sunset

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    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.

  • Landscape and forest in background contrast the bright sky as the sun sets

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    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.

  • 2 of 3 | Late day high contrast with Lenticular cloud facing east

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The continuation of another clip. The Lenticular clouds are dominant in the sky. Many levels of moisture enable these strange eddies of air currents to be cloaked in visible water. The landscape (nearby mountains) is contributing to the formation of these less common clouds. High above the desert landscape, a sliver of blue-sky remains in the beyond, and Cirrus clouds are on the top layer.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    16 seconds and 4 frames.

  • Clouds passing quickly overhead lake lit by moon

    Scene notes:

    The vast Crater Lake is under heavy rolling low clouds that part for the moonlight to briefly shine on the water and allow the few stars visible to shine through.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds and 26 frames.

  • Lenticular formation of clouds above rocky landscape, blue-sky at sunset

  • Distant thundercloud dims rapidly as the sun goes behind from

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The thundercloud has become wispy and listless in its old age, but remains tall and huge. Another layer of mid-level cloud comes in as the sun is done for the day, and night comes to blue hour.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 7 frames.

    Scene notes:

    Lenticular clouds (the continuation of another clip mixed in with other mid-level clouds. Lenticular clouds come in a variety of shapes but they are unique in that they are generally stationary.

  • Green and shimmering lights of the Aurora Borealis 2 of 2

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A towering complex of clouds at sunrise, with the sun outside the frame. The point of view is angled steeply upward and southerly. Where the sun glows in amber and gold on the clouds exposed to its light, both delicate outer edges of denser towering clouds and nebulous areas from later in convection are brightly illuminated. Almost certain is the probability these clouds will produce rain later in the day.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds and 24 frames.
