    Scene notes:

    Under very light clouds, creeping up its slopes during fair-weather. Its peak becoming more obscured deep in the clouds, Mt Rainier is the subject of the frame, along with a Cumulus cloud that persistently grows. The shade from this cloud casts shadows on the many steep slopes below.

The Canadian Rockies are home to both Banff and Jasper parks, which are situated not far from each other geographically, and are both in the Alberta province.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    15 seconds and 9 frames.

  • 1 of 2 | Late day Yosemite winter transforming into sunset

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A winter view of Yosemite valley: a very small stratus of fog on El Capitan’s ridge plays slowly as the shadows rise at an also slow pace. The water of Bridalveil Falls still pours near the right of the frame, mostly shadowed by the land at clip’s end. Evergreen trees reside on every surface that is not too steep to grow on, and the valley becomes Tenaya Canyon further out, snow becoming more fulsome.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds and 2 frames.

  • Vivid colorful light rays on clouds from mountain peak of Mt Whitney

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Light rays at sunset. Crepuscular rays fall from high humidity on mountaintops. The sun glows on the clouds as it sets behind Mt Whitney and the mountain ridge. The middle and background dims. The sunbeams shift as the clouds move and the sun sets below. The vivid, sharp rays are defined by the staggered peaks.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 25 frames.
