The stony cliff edge that is the foreground is being moved over on a dolly, observing flowing fog
that is caught and rapidly flowing over the cresting hill’s ridge below.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
6 seconds and 13 frames.
Cirrus clouds float undisturbed over aretḗ (French for this terrain feature which has no English
counterpart) mountain peaks (center). The southern facing cliffs (right) are largely free of snow,
while others still retain a great deal of it. Cornices shed fresh snow in high wind (middle peaks).
The sky comprises a third of the frame, with the sun visible late clip.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
7 seconds and 16 frames.
…clouds float by overhead and on mountains. White-trunked, orange and yellow Aspens are the dominant
color shown in this grove that lives on the foothills of snowy mountains of the Sierras, which are
steeped in low, fluffy clouds which move steadily through but also linger on the cliffs. The lower
left third of the frame has shrubs and sagebrush.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
6 seconds and 22 frames.
The camera pans to the right. A larger aperture depth-of-field is shown. On the mountainsides,
delicate clouds condense momentarily and evaporate as quickly, small and insignificant in size. Other
low-level and some mid-level stratus clouds are also present. Shrubs with yellow flowers comprise
much of the fore and middle ground.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
8 seconds.
Left to right: El Capitan, a massive monolith that’s a kilometer in height and straight rock face.
The snowy area tucked away behind El Capitan is Cloud’s Rest. Then Half Dome, the cross-sectioned
dome monolith. Sentinel Rock is the slope which is in front of Half Dome. Bridalveil Falls is closer.
Low clouds float and transform on the forest valley floor and all the aforementioned features.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
8 seconds and 2 frames.
… afternoon cast shadows on the sparing water beneath. The continuation of another clip. The camera’s
orientation and position has been adjusted.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 3 frames.
Mixed clouds over the Sierras. The Alabama Hills is an area in California just outside Lone Pine,
California.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
8 seconds and 27 frames.
Wind breezes on water, pristinely colored in the caldera of the dead volcano. The snow on the left
hand of the frame persists on the rim of the lake, and the sky has lower and high-level clouds-
Cirrus and contrails.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 8 frames.
