Changing from day to night on the east flank of Mt Shasta, the clouds rapidly change and darken to
the night. The stars seem to spin around as the Earth rotates and the sky brightens to morning, light
once again on the snow.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
38 seconds and 24 frames.
Lake Tahoe in the distance is seen through trees as the dusk sets in and the upper-level clouds turn
from pink to being illuminated by city lights. The snowy foreground shadowed; airplanes are seen far
in the sky moving through the frame. Stars come out after blue hour. On the one road visible, traffic
moves quickly, and a ship is seen moving from afar.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
59 seconds and 14 frames.
Deep into blue hour, mountain peaks behind the point of view cast dark shadows deep into the pink,
dusk sky. Facing a desert landscape which comprises an eighth of the frame, largely as a silhouette.
The moon, full, is seen alone in space. A few low-level clouds in the distance.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
6 seconds and 22 frames.
A single ridge of fog bisects this stratus layer of fog beyond with no foreground. Cloud-fog the
color of Butterscotch on their tops where the hits them, and pouring steadily towards the left, as if
it’s a river about to turn into a drop and become a waterfall.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 11 frames.
An evening on windy Mt Diablo, a foreground of vegetation precedes the several hills in small layers
of fog. The wind whips the fog over the hillsides below, as the humid air glows brightly near the sun
in the upper-third of the frame. Only in the distance of the Bay area are there more fog layers. The
sky is otherwise cloudless, as the close fog passes nearby intermittently, brightening the whole
scene for brief moments.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
21 seconds and 2 frames.
Eleven distinct ‘waves’ of cloud banks can be observed spanning the clip’s payback. At this
elevation, the tops of stratus clouds beyond and just a few hundred meters away move very quickly in
the wind. An effect on the cloud from the land can be seen, owing to the ‘crashing’ transformation
effect that the waves of clouds rapidly show. As the afternoon progresses closer to sunset, the color
begins to change as well.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
19 seconds and 25 frames.
… blanket of fog shines on forest at sunset. A marine cloud layer at about 3500 ft is the flank of
Mt. June facing west. The sun is not yet visible in the frame, and the clouds begin to turn pinker as
time moves forward,
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
19 seconds and 21 frames.
Framed by trees on Mt June, this stable inversion layer is very close to the camera. One may assume
fairly that the start of the clip is going to show the fog coming in quickly, but this does not
happen. Explanatory info: Batteries of cameras do not last long in the mid-2000’s due to
contemporaneous technology.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
16 seconds and 26 frames.
