    Area in the area of Bjarnarhöfn, Iceland. The UAS at a few hundred feet altitude, looks straight downward on the volcanic landscape below filles with lichen, slow life, and fresh-water pools. The landscape resembles dried lava flows.

    Scene notes:

    … in Waimea Canyon in Kauai, Hawaii. Reds and greens like nowhere else. This old volcanic area has very young volcanic and erosion features. The jungle is everywhere soils can accumulate. Waterfalls and countless rock steps are throughout. The shadows are variable in their contrast and dimness. The clouds overhead are low and smoothly flowing, covering about half of the sky.

    A no-sky sunset, this forest scene features a foreground dominated mostly by shadows shifting on mossy rocks and a fallen tree. The interval used is ten seconds. In the remaining one-third of the frame, trees of the forest are in the background, trunks slightly irregular from being windblown on this woodsy hillside.

    9 seconds and 2 frames.

    Scene notes:

    … the forest above Mill Valley and on Mt Tamalpais. Similar at a first glance to a creek in long exposures, fog flowing central of frame takes the shapes of running water, while remaining gaseous vapor. The layer that came in from the ocean runs far into the horizon. Even very far away on the horizon, headlands rise slightly above the stratus. Playback length at 30 fps: 25 seconds.
