Aurora can be faint, so much so that it is only detectable by long-exposures. In this timelapse,
normal light pollution at left gives way to a reddish Aurora, over the beautiful Boreal forest in
northern Canada.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
11 seconds.
Scene notes: … of light rays through darker clouds slowly shifting. This is a slower clip with a very
short interval and faster shutter speed. Crepuscular rays shine when there is a higher humidity in one
area, but not necessarily very humid in the entire observable atmosphere around the observer. As the
clouds move, the shadows defining the light rays move with them. The rays trace a path from the sun to
the ground, and to the observer, the angles shift more the further the light path reaches from the
sun.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 17 frames.
…light rays through darker clouds slowly shifting. Because of a small patch of open sky, the sun
breaks free into the valley below in between dense cloud cover of Cumulus type. Far in the distance
is the barely visible horizon, which is cloaked in cloud shadow. This is the second clip in a scene
of a few that were taken within the same 90 minutes.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
8 seconds and 18 frames.
…at dusk on Mt Tamalpais as sunset passes by. Stratocumulus clouds stretch for miles far below the
serene meadow hills with creeping, windblown trees. The open sky is a ‘Hoki’ color, or a dusty-blue,
and the horizon is a mix of Dusky Rose and Pale Oranges that make up the quarter of the frame.
California sage brush, Chaparral, and Oaks are the main types of trees and shrubs shown.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 29 frames.
A small cirque glacial feature is clear between a saddle created by the two peaks, which clouds float
over.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):

On a precipice with no land in sight as the fog flows below and around the POV. The sun sets below
the horizon in the distance, and it is now dusk.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
2 minutes, 20 seconds.
The continuation of another clip, on a motion-controlled dolly, moving. The camera’s orientation and
position has been adjusted.
