    Scene notes:

    …Airport, SFO at night under rainy clouds. Continental traveling airplanes are seen landing over the bay diagonally across the frame. The bright lights of a few are visible among the other city lights, taxiing for takeoff or to their gates. In the bottom quarter of the frame the water moves, and reflects the light of the clouds, illuminated in the city’s lighting. The lower stratus clouds bring rain on the city across the water.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):

    Scene notes:

    … and their small lights ascending before dawn. Multi-categorized clip. The moon sets behind Mt Rainier. Looking closely afterward, a distant, single climbing party’s headlights are shown ascending the rugged and impressive slope overnight. Morning comes, a blue hour, and far, far behind some conifers, the snow of the mountain becomes pink momentarily against the rapidly changing sky, until the sky is light blue, and it is day again.

  • Night sky brief transition to moonrise over snowy mountain

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    As the moon rises and the frame zooms in digitally, the mountains increase in natural light, stars overhead in a cloudless sky. The scene displays low to medium coma. The mountains are half-snow-covered, the other half is too steep, rock faces and cliffs that plunge. Flutings comprise the cirques of accumulated snow.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 28 frames.

  • Moonrise from behind POV causes similar colors to dawn

    Scene notes:

    …or a sunset on snowy bright mountains. The moon rising sends enough alpenglow to the mountainsides to brighten them like a sunrise. The stars overhead in the top half of the frame wheel around as the Earth spins at night.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    16 seconds and 25 frames.
