Oregon interior on Mt June, alpine meadow has a large
View with alternate video source
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.

Desert, rocky landscapes, before Sierra Nevada
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Panning right, the shrublands in the foreground comprises the bottom quarter of the frame. Above, blue sky with stray lower clouds casting shadow on the ground below, rapidly shifting. The wide mountain range, snowy and peaked with sharp jagged cliffs, are partly under a blanket, which transform slowly. ‘Caught’ on the land, they exist only here for any length of time before evaporating elsewhere.

Bakki, Iceland, large hills with bright rain

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.

Extra-light clouds casting a few shadows transforming

Scene notes:
The snow-covered rim of both the north and southern rim of Grand Canyon is highlighted under moving lower, fluffy clouds. Clouds from outside the frame cast their dark shadows on the cliffs and rim as they pass swiftly in the winter wind, their transformations almost muted playsinline compared to the clouds of summer. The lower temperatures are responsible for the relatively sluggish air currents around and in the clouds themselves.

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.

A thin cloud cover overlaps the night sky above mountains in bottom fifth

Scene notes:
A 50mm lens at open aperture (f1.4). Far above a mountain peak, a mid-level cloud layer gradually works its way into the frame, silhouetted in the dark night sky. Coma (comatic aberration) is present at moderate levels.
