    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Bright Cantaloupe highlights in the bright precipitation of these stratus clouds, and Halloween orange colors on the fading rain at right of the frame. Silhouetted bare ridges in the lower quarter, under these clouds that darken in as time progresses, the open sky a perfect Mid-blue.

    Scene notes:

    …at dusk on Mt Tamalpais as sunset passes by. Stratocumulus clouds stretch for miles far below the serene meadow hills with creeping, windblown trees. The open sky is a ‘Hoki’ color, or a dusty-blue, and the horizon is a mix of Dusky Rose and Pale Oranges that make up the quarter of the frame. California sage brush, Chaparral, and Oaks are the main types of trees and shrubs shown.

    Scene notes:

    City lights under stars, aircraft flying over. The Big Dipper, the famous constellation, is observable at the top of the frame. The lower left corner has stratus clouds, but the sky is otherwise clear. A couple of airplanes can be seen flying through, under a starry night sky with a long exposure of several seconds and interval of just as much time.

    25 seconds.

    Scene notes:

    …with rocky hills on meadows, mixed clouds. A rock step, a distant cliff near a hilltop, is evident left in the background, above green meadows, and other multiple layers of clouds, the shadows move.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    5 seconds and 28 frames.

  • Cropped horizon with lower cloud vividly just above moving overheard

    Scene notes:

    A small mountain formed on tectonic plate accretion that is the coastal range in Oregon, and a congestus cloud just above shows a nice angle of the cloud from side-on while high up on Mt June’s meadows, mid-afternoon. The cloud billows and transforms in a warm summer day, and when it suddenly meets a mass of dry air from the east vaklley side of the mountain, it disintegrates.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds.

    Scene notes:

    Low cloud overhead which casts its shadow. Two large hills in the distance of Mt June narrowly under a cloud cover. The grassy green foreground stretches in brightness intermittently as the shadows move on the meadow. Patches of blue-sky persist in the mostly cloudy sky.

    Scene notes:

    …on mountain in the distance beyond clear pastures. Observable on a large hill, low clouds and rain (left) on these Icelandic farm meadows. Shadows and sunlight on the rain shift as the precipitation rapidly moves along the Nimbus-cloaked high hills.

    12 seconds and 24 frames.
