  • On Mt Pilatus by Lucerne, Switzerland, clouds in winter below

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Lucerne Lake, 6 kilometers below, is the center of the frame’s focus. A snowy slope, and a sheer cliff ridge below Pilatus’ peak extends into a third of the frame. The surrounding lakeside far below is finely cultivated greenery and forest area. The outskirts of Lucerne’s municipalities are also visible below, as are the clouds which will have no chance of climbing the mountain’s top surface and extend as small formations to the tops of the foothills and snowy peaks far beyond to the southeast.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 3 frames.

  • Vibrant alpenglow fades behind mountains of Jasper at sunset with snowy cliffs

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The mountain range is bathed in alpenglow, pink ambient lighting. High clouds provide the color, minutes after sunset in the winter. The mountain range is expansive in height and width, and is also defined by striated rock steps, cirques, flutings, fallen seracs, crags, long cornices, ice walls, and summits. The range at right has ice and snow fields as well as rock steps and an aret’e peak. The wide sky composes roughly two thirds of the frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds and 19 frames.

  • Ascending Mount Shasta, California, late in the day above the fog facing north

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The UAS ascends, and a nearby fog layer passes by. Mt Shasta is seen in the morning light stretching out, it’s two peaks fully draped in a fresh winter snow. The morning sky is a bright blue color against the peaks. There are a few distant high clouds. The unique perspective of the mountain is simply not available from the ground.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds and 14 frames.

  • Grand Tetons, a steep range from a meadow with light ray shadows moving slowly

    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
