Steam from geyser in winter at Yellowstone 3 of 3
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Up very close to an active thermal vent in Yellowstone. The fastest motion even from a very short interval.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
13 seconds. -
Steam from geyser in winter at Yellowstone 2 of 3
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Thermal vents surrounded by trees in the early morning release steam into cold air, which speeds condensation from hot water. The temperature contrast is higher in winter and colder weather.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds. -
Looking up among ferns and a broken tree; light rays
Scene notes:
Scattered ferns in the frame, light rays above: there is a large and tall tree stump at left, and many fine light rays pass into the forest from fog ending just above. SKU/clip number: FRS056.
Time-lapse length (30 fps): 17 seconds. -
Steam is cooled and floats along the Yellowstone River
Scene notes:
Yellowstone River in Yellowstone N.P., Wyoming, with steam from hot springs and thermals erupting in late morning. The river flows 676 miles total, with 600 or so to go from here, before meeting the Missouri River. SKU/clip number: DAY340
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds. -
Steam from hot springs in winter at Yellowstone 1 of 3
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Hot springs venting steam, resembling rapidly rising clouds. Due to the energetic and copious steam from unusually high activity, this has the fastest motion of all timelapses on this site.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):

Grand Tetons morning under layers of fair weather and flat clouds brightening
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Orographic effects on clouds can be varied. One tried and true method of identifying orographic clouds: do the clouds appear around the mountaintops and nowhere else? This affirmative can safely indicate an orographic effect: when the landscape influences the clouds directly. The sunrise requires no clouds at all to filter through at full radiant intensity. Slowly shifting clouds with little to no transformation over time can indicate very stable air. The mountain range brightens in the morning sun.
