Different shadows from the varying cloud cover. Cirrostratus are seen from afar near the horizon.
This layer of moisture is dense enough to be opaque with the sun directly behind it. The sliver of
blue-sky between clouds persists.

The mountains of the Sierra Nevada range do not entirely catch the low moving clouds on them, which
are blowing and slightly billowing and casting shadows on the snowy peaks and cliffs. Below, the
peak-coloring of the Aspen grove stretches closer from left to right. With leaves of varying colors
from red (afar) to orange (middle ground) and greens with yellow (close). The age of the trees may
provide hints as to the varying colors.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
18 seconds and 4 frames.
On complex red sandstone formations, shadows shift intermittently and then for the end duration as
the sun sets. Facing east, with mid-level Castellanus clouds appearing to move away as the camera
physically pans to the right, where shrublands lay before the stones.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 15 frames.
Pink light on the mid-level clouds. Strong radiant light passes through the atmosphere to create
underlighting for the slow clouds overhead with no horizon in frame.

The sunset from Pike Creek Vista, Grand Canyon. The northwestward view shows the canyon stretching
vast distances under the sky, which comprises the top quarter of the frame. Mid-level clouds shape
the light above while the landscape shades itself, cliffs and precipices in the dark. The sun
disappears below the horizon in this darkening scene. Original footage from 2005.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 13 frames.
Pines and other conifers are framing the sky on all sides of the scene in the early morning above
Lake Tahoe, which is surrounded by a forest, and blanketed partially with a fog layer. The sky
quickly brightens as high clouds and an airplane contrail turn all the colors of sunrise. The ground
is snowy. A similar clip exists.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
38 seconds and 4 frames.
…under Grand Canyon viewpoint in the snowy winter. A foreground of white, a middle ground of orange
stone, and a background of all the stone colors of the southwest. Light clouds, low level fluffy
formations, cast crawling shadows on the vast boulder fields, rock steps and corniced ridgelines and
summits of the canyon.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
17 seconds and 8 frames.
Rain and shadows on Waimea Canyon. Waterfalls are visible on the opposite side of the canyon in the
background (left). Plants on the right of the frame are blowing in the breeze. On the bottom left,
orange stones are brighter under the shade of thinner clouds.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
15 seconds and 2 frames.
