Exemplar scene of a fresh patch of ice melting rapidly in the sun on lichen covered rocks. This scene
with no sky is an exception to the normal sky footage. This is a macro shot, with the ice just an
inch or so from the lens.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
6 seconds and 8 frames.
…rocky, snowy winter peaks. Symmetrical slopes dominate the frame, with rocks and small boulders among evergreens that lead up to near the very tips of these mountain tops. With light, low rolling clouds pouring over and piling on these steep slopes, jagged, snowy peaks poke out like jigsaw teeth.
A winter landscape at Grand Canyon facing north from South Rim, with light, fluffy clouds. Along the
vista and foreground, the shadows of the clouds move steadily along the scene. The north side of the
canyon has a blanket of snow on the rim, which is mostly under very low vapor cover.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
20 seconds and 11 frames.
On vast lake when medium heavy clouds pass quicky on the wind and water. Heavy clouds over Crater
Lake.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):

A very snowy forest hill with a steep slope, and only one mossy stone. A magic hour sunset
illuminates the snow, and the snow takes on ambient light, pink, while some direct sunlight gets
through the woods to shine directly on nearby, snowy branches, frosted from a night and day of
freezing temperatures. A five second interval is used.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 15 frames.
Snowy, frost-kissed branches which create shade. An exemplar of the beginning of winter in Oregon’s
forest. Sopping wet Spanish Moss hangs from several thin branches is illuminated brilliantly in
complex light rays, created from fog moving in and out of the scene. They stretch left-right from the
small tree. More hanging beards of Spanish moss on the right help to create these shadows, and the
sun slowly moves in the bright pale blue-sky that is barely seen behind these evergreen trees in the
forest beyond.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
15 seconds.
Panning right, the icicles the frame is moving over drip as they slowly melt, and the shadows from
the trees move over the snow and mossy ground; and a diagonal trunk, leaning from the hillside, casts
a shadow across the frame.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
14 seconds and 2 frames.
Green vegetation on a snowy ground ends on the red rock that extends into the canyon, and further
out, vast scree and boulder fields below followed by massive rock steps. Shadows from low clouds,
mostly out of frame, creep along the canyon interior.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
23 seconds and 25 frames.
