  • Lake Tahoe sunset with pink clouds with humans, boats further out

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Altocumulus Castellanus are here in the top half of the frame at sunset. Being brilliantly shined upon, they range in color from Grapefruit to shades of pale pink and sharp purple, and the clear areas of sky remain blue, comprising two thirds of the sky. The bottom half has Lake Tahoe, a boat makes an inquisitive entrance and exit, and the water moves with gentle, lapping waves. The other side of the expansive lake is the east sky, with more clouds observed.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 9 frames.

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

  • Few scattered clouds over Grand Teton and alpine pond

    Scene notes:

    Classic ‘arete’ shaped mountaintops above a conifer-surrounded lake, the three peaks in full sunlight with only a minimal cloud or two and barely two gentle breezes on the pristine, still water. Time-lapse length (at 30 fps): 5 seconds and 1 frame.

    Scene notes:

    … with wind on the water under light clouds. Physically panning on the lake, from the scree slide of the southwest next to Wizard Hat Island. The gentler wind creates small ripples on the lake in the afternoon, low clouds in the sky. Similar to another clip.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    5 seconds and 19 frames.

  • Rapidly, shadows and gusts on water ride the vast lake

    Scene notes:

    Precipitation as rain is observable approaching Wizard Hat Island (right). The light shines on the ripples of water on the lake as the wind blows more randomly than the cloud shadows move. The huge fresh-water lake has a winter landscape on the opposing rim.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    5 seconds and 18 frames.
