    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Bright Cantaloupe highlights in the bright precipitation of these stratus clouds, and Halloween orange colors on the fading rain at right of the frame. Silhouetted bare ridges in the lower quarter, under these clouds that darken in as time progresses, the open sky a perfect Mid-blue.

    Scene notes:

    …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.

  • Sunrise over Grand Canyon with vibrant mixed clouds changing at dawn

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The sunrise is displayed on Grand Canyon, light slowly brightening. The clouds above in the shifting sunlight transform wildly in the new light, and then gradually lose previous semblance of color. Instead of being lit from below, the clouds above are lit from above shortly after dawn. The desert canyon vista that stretches many miles is eventually illuminated like any other day.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    50 seconds and 4 frames.

  • Grand Tetons range behind a hill that becomes cloaked in shadow at sundown

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The mid-level clouds above Grand Tetons in the sunlight at dusk. The hill in between mountains and foreground is shadowed as the sun sets. The very sharp peaks of the range become silhouetted. A three second interval is used.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 28 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.

  • Rain cloud looms above at sunset as the sky is enveloped in a tinged storm

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Panning downward slowly, a slow moving rain cloud complex over a plan during dusk. Rain can be observed in the distance at the very bottom of the frame, as well as a distant tree line. The clouds range from strongly tinged pink to Halloween orange as the sunset progresses.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    17 seconds and 12 frames.
