  • Vancouver, cityscape Canada under clouds

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Slowly panning on distant mountain background with Mt Seymour mountain. North of Vancouver, the view is under building lower-level clouds. In the lower valley behind some trees, downtown Vancouver can be seen, as can a rotating construction crane, far in the distance at lower-right. A three second interval, the sky is about one tenth blue at times. Significant uplift from wind on Mt Seymour drives these clouds. This is called the orographic effect.

    16 seconds and 14 frames.

  • Marine layer over hills that are blanketing

    Scene notes:

    … the forest above Mill Valley and on Mt Tamalpais. Similar at a first glance to a creek in long exposures, fog flowing central of frame takes the shapes of running water, while remaining gaseous vapor. The layer that came in from the ocean runs far into the horizon. Even very far away on the horizon, headlands rise slightly above the stratus. Playback length at 30 fps: 25 seconds.

  • Clouds and shadows on distant mountain background…

    Scene notes:

    …under clouds and shadows. Over the continental divide in Colorado, mountains deep in natural snow are unmarred by signs of society, and range from big gradual slopes to the sharpest, rocky peaks near center-frame. The upper slopes, a quarter of the frame, is snowy, and are shaded by the clouds overhead which are moving towards-camera but without momentum.
