  • Flying over burned trees to distant waterfall…

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    …as the shadows rise late in the day on mountain cliffs. This UAS clip with a three second interval flies onto quickly rising shadows from the steep cliffs. Much of the forest is burned, flying under below, the trees recently browned and scorched from the heat where the forest once was alive. Centered is a medium-sized waterfall and creek, which the camera flies to. A blue-sky has a few receding mid-level clouds. The wilderness area has sheer cliffs of several hundred feet. The terrain is mostly without soil and only stone with some winter snow still on the upper ridge in one area.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds and 21 frames.

  • Floating to monoliths on the Pacific Ocean shore…

    Scene notes:

    … with waves flowing on rocks below. The UAS moves towards a monolith among an outcrop of stone and shallow beach waves. A full motion clip with no interval of photos. Just beyond the monolith is a fog bank that is slowly moving towards the camera, with smaller wisps moving over the rocky shore.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    1 minute, 6 seconds and 17 frames.

  • Very low-density clouds in the moonlight on rocky…

    Scene notes:

    A rocky landscape in front of snow-capped mountains. Under a moonlit night sky, stratus clouds ascend Mt Whitney and the Sierras, but only with enough to meander. The mountain range is snowy and steep, fully lit with the moon. The night sky is starry, and in the bottom tenth of the frame, the rocky hills are at the foot of the steep mountain slopes, which have shadows from the rare cloud that makes it over the ridges.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    23 seconds and 8 frames.

  • Alto, cirrocumulus above while panning on the wild…

    Scene notes:

    Castellanus clouds (castle top clouds) are named for their towering appearance; these mid-level clouds have the most intricate and brilliant lighting while shapeshifting above the wild forest hills at sunset, oranges, golds, pinks, purples, and pale blues.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 21 frames.

  • Afternoon on Yosemite Valley snowy river and clouds…

    Scene notes:

    … orographically building on cliffs above. Snow falling in Yosemite Valley looking southwest, in an opening by the river. The snow covers the ground; trees loom on the left before the cliffs which have clouds piling up and past the sheer face of rock. The clouds also pour over the right-side monolith, the sun behind them, and in between the rapid vapors are patches of open sky. Farther out are more cliffs under the same majestic clouds. Slightly higher than the low clouds are other thinner clouds that roam in the opposing direction against the deep blue.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds and 18 frames.

  • Floating over the Pacific Ocean shore with waves flowing on rocks below

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Moving south, the UAV points down to a broken fog bank, which is breaking on the rocky shore from beyond. Glistening far below, waves move towards the headlands and rocky outcrops. White foam on the rockiest areas as well as further out where the waves break.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    37 seconds and 6 frames.

  • 1 of 3 Low clouds moving at night over mountain range in moonlight

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Sometimes a high wind gust will come along and cause the tripod to move slightly. In these rare instances, the clip may be stabilized digitally or divided in two. This shot of the Alabama Hills at night under a nearly full moon has a cut that divides the scene into two clips, one with a longer shutter speed.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 78 frames.

  • 2 of 3 | Low clouds moving at night over mountain range in moonlight

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Mt Whitney is seen among its neighboring peaks in the Sierra Nevada range of mountains at night. With the long shutter speed of three seconds and an interval of five seconds and clouds quickly float overhead. The stratus clouds floating high enough fly over, the lower ones are caught and piled up on a few of the peaks. A landscape of hills made of smooth and rocks of varying sizes, from massive to minute, climbs to the left of the frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    6 seconds and 80 frames.
