  • 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.

    Scene notes:

    …National Park. A famous view over a canyon valley vista with waterfall in the afternoon 1 of 2. Above the side-road parking lot, overlooking Yosemite Valley on a perfectly fifty percent cloudy day there is a POV. High up on a trail away from the tour buses, a maintained path leads straight up the hill face, warm and dry ground on this day. these cumulus meander in the general direction of the wind, their shadows moving along the greenery and granite of these steep cliff faces and arched domes in the distance, Half Dome, still with the bits of snowy outcrops on its very top.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Very dark thunderstorm rolls into the late afternoon over Canyonlands desert

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A clip divided by an exposure adjustment. The storm (right)moves into view as the daylight wanes, and the desert landscape with its red clay dims. In the distance three sharply pointed hills have eroded to the point where one tiny peak stands out on each mound, rock piles evenly spread around from crumbling.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 21 frames.
