  • Arrowleaf Balsomroot on a meadow before red rock…

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Rock formations under light midday clouds flowing overhead. Sandstone spires stand tall into the sky looking down from afar on yellow flowering Arrowleaf Balsomroot plants all around the foreground. The meadow comprises half the frame, and a hill rises green to change into the red ground and shrubs into formations of pure stone.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 2 frames.

  • Sandstone monoliths under fast clouds which cast moving shade

    Scene notes:

    Panning to the right over a red rock canyon, with low clouds of low-density float and meandering overhead, shadows quickly passing through the canyon floor and the large white boulder in the foreground (near clip end).
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 6 frames.

  • Mt Shasta wide facing east at sunset under pinkish…

    Scene notes:

    … and blue sky, facing east at sunset to Mt Shasta. Here a low-level cloud strand streak off the summit, and mid-level altostratus clouds catch the colorful sunset light. The mountain (lower left) is snow-covered and stands beyond a foothill of Manzanita bushes and shrubs, as well as distant evergreen Conifers.

    43 seconds and 2 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.

  • 3 of 3 | Aurora Borealis are the Northern Lights

    Scene notes:

    …which strobe, creep, and flow in the night sky. The continuation of another clip. High Cirrus, highlighted in red by normal light pollution from one of the most northern towns of Alberta, stand against the bright green of the northern lights. It is likely coincidence that makes the clouds and Aurora seem connected in some ways at parts of the sky. There is no ground horizon shown exempt for a small outline of trees in the bottom-right of the frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 27 frames.

  • On an Oregon meadow with green grass, shadows…

    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    13 seconds.

  • Over the boreal forest are the distant Northern Lights

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The view over sub-arctic woods at night. One of the last areas this far north with any significant light pollution (man-made light that has a significant impact on the darkness of the night), the Northern Lights are observable in the distant thermosphere, around 65 miles above the Earth. This clip contains the lowest amount of transforming aurora in the entire collection.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 65 frames.

  • 1 of 2 | Late day Yosemite winter transforming into sunset

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A winter view of Yosemite valley: a very small stratus of fog on El Capitan’s ridge plays slowly as the shadows rise at an also slow pace. The water of Bridalveil Falls still pours near the right of the frame, mostly shadowed by the land at clip’s end. Evergreen trees reside on every surface that is not too steep to grow on, and the valley becomes Tenaya Canyon further out, snow becoming more fulsome.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds and 2 frames.
