  • Behind some trees, Lake Tahoe and a pink sunset of Cirrus

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Even the snow of the foreground is pink from the ambient light of the clouds. A fiery canvas ablaze with the day’s last minutes, streaks of vibrant crimson and passionate pink ignite the western sky. Below, a tranquil expanse of water mirrors the celestial drama, reflecting hues of rose and lavender. Silhouetted pines stand sentinel along the snowy banks, their dark forms a stark contrast to the luminous horizon. Distant, snow-capped peaks fade into a soft, ethereal blue, a gentle boundary between earth and the incandescent heavens. The snow continues in the distant mountain Mt Tallac (far away and at right).
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    27 seconds and 23 frames.

  • Fair sky facing south at sunset from mountain

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A mostly clear dusk sky over the Inyo mountains lookout. The snow-covered ground is dotted with Bristlecone pines. In the distance, a vast mountain range that is part of the Sierra Nevada. One ridge and the furthest ridge create a ‘saddle’ mid-frame and may look like an unlevel horizon, but such is nature and the wild. The sky is deep into ‘blue hour’.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    27 seconds.

  • Cloud overhead glows bright and then dims under…

    Scene notes:

    … higher clouds at sunset. Post-sunset, underneath the clouds, the light is caught. Moving to the right, a gradual clearing of glowing mid-level clouds give way to Cirrus clouds still bright in the sunset light in the upper-right half of the frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    19 seconds and 11 frames.

  • 1 of 3 | Sliding over mountain past green bushes and above the fog layer at dusk

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Facing east at sunset on a mountain landscape, the fog appears to very slowly roil on the foot of the mountain in a lack of wind, and the camera moves perceptively on a dolly leftwards. The sky comprises a quarter of the frame and is a spectrum of reds to blues, brightening towards the right of the frame. The mountainous butte on the left of the frame is snow covered.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    6 seconds and 26 frames.

  • Sun going down over Icelandic ocean flowing under clouds lit by light

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The ocean flows hundreds of feet below, with the foreground the edge of a grassy cliff, initially comprising four-tenths of the frame. The frame pans upwards as the sun goes down, illuminating some of the stratus clouds from below. They are blown in the strong ocean winds, the same ones pushing the waves far below. The sun is shown going below the horizon. In the distance on the left, another headland of Iceland is apparent.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    16 seconds and 18 frames.

  • Time-lapse of colorful Altocumulus clouds scattering

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The sun sets below as lower clouds float quickly and change as they make their way past the camera overhead in the illumination of the evening sun, colors shifting as time moves on to the ‘blue hour’.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds and 17 frames.

  • Cargo ship exiting bay from Marin Headlands at sunset on ocean

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Looking south-southwest at dusk, post-sunset, towards the Pacific Ocean and Lincoln Park on the opposite end of the bay. Low tide, or wind, is responsible for the water’s direction. At the end of the opposing headlands, Seal Rocks, an outcrop of stones just off the beach, are near the center of the frame. Well past the time of day where details are apparent to the naked eye, the outline of a cargo ship leaves the bay, its lights are on as it begins a sea journey at night. The very steep Marin Headlands, the middle ground, is silhouetted on the ocean, in the lower right.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    15 seconds and 24 frames.

  • Panning on mountains in Banff at blue sunset facing eastward

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Digitally panning at blue hour on the mountains of Banff National Park in Canada. The sun lights up the lower-level clouds which ride the steady wind just above the snowy peaks and ridges. The Canadian Rockies are home to both Banff and Jasper parks, which are situated not far from each other geographically, and are both in the Alberta province.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    15 seconds and 9 frames.
