  • 1 of 2 | Low clouds flow smoothly on mountainous Napali coast mountains

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Some of the biggest shield volcanoes on Earth created the Hawaiian island chain, which are completely separate from the main continental plates which shape so much of the rest of our world. As such, it seems fitting for Hawaiian to be an exotic and often otherworldly place. For being so new, the islands are, mostly, so green. The verdant landscapes are covered in jungle all the way to their peaks where the cliffs are nearly sheer. The dense woods are home to so many fruiting plants like mango, tart guava berries and sweet pineapple grown for millennia by the indigenous people. With clouds flowing and appearing to get ‘tripped up’ by this peak near center-frame, fog joins the cloud and vice versa, with no clear boundary between. Every visible air current from the orographic lift effect can be seen on the outer cloud.

  • Tide-like late dawn fog with trees separating blankets on hillsides

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Sectioned by four ridges of hills, forests, fog flows into the empty areas. There is a definite liquid-like quality to the fog’s movement. Visibility is very clear, and the distant coast range is visible. Beyond that, the ocean, from where this fog came.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 2 frames.

  • Shapeshifting fog just below with upper-level clouds illuminated at sunset

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Sandwiched between layers of clouds, where just below, the sun shines on stratus fog vividly at sunset, creating these pink wave crests of the fog, steadily moving and shifting on a wind. Far beyond, an Altostratus layer filters out a little light, but closer above, the stratus layer has its lower surface is made golden by the sun’s glow. From reddish to pink, the sky majestically plays into dusk.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    13 seconds and 2 frames.

  • Lowest density fog level to red Golden Gate Bridge late afternoon

  • Just below beyond a high ridge, fog pours over and through trees mid-day

    Scene notes:

    The stony cliff edge that is the foreground is being moved over on a dolly, observing flowing fog that is caught and rapidly flowing over the cresting hill’s ridge below.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    6 seconds and 13 frames.

  • 10 of 10 | Sierra Nevada Mountain range and midday clouds

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The camera pans to the right. A larger aperture depth-of-field is shown. On the mountainsides, delicate clouds condense momentarily and evaporate as quickly, small and insignificant in size. Other low-level and some mid-level stratus clouds are also present. Shrubs with yellow flowers comprise much of the fore and middle ground.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds.

    Scene notes:

    Panning right physically along the alpine meadows of Rocky Mountain National Park. Clouds have begun to inundate the scene, just above and nearly at point of view-level. The continuation of another clip.
