  • Wintery and huge mountain looms overhead

    Scene notes:

    … steeped in clouds, crawling on its slopes. Rock face with rock fall, mixed with these river-shaped eroded areas called cirques, as well as the striations of comprise this mountain that starts as largely shadowed by low clouds. Bright areas of light on the slopes where the clouds break on a massive arête, far too steep for snow (late clip).

    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.

  • 1 of 2 Over Iceland, Snæfellsjökull National Park…

    Scene notes:

    Slow life, newer lava flows, and a mountain in a cloud. A recently active volcano with very little in the way of sediment for plant growth. The UAS flies over a volcanic landscape. Shallow, frozen puddles remain on low points from recent rain. Slow life grows in what little soil there is; this ground is so new in its life.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    31 seconds and 22 frames.

  • Clouds and shadows on distant mountain background…

    Scene notes:

    …under clouds and shadows. Over the continental divide in Colorado, mountains deep in natural snow are unmarred by signs of society, and range from big gradual slopes to the sharpest, rocky peaks near center-frame. The upper slopes, a quarter of the frame, is snowy, and are shaded by the clouds overhead which are moving towards-camera but without momentum.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    13 seconds and 18 frames.

  • Stable air around Mt Si in Washington has a low fog…

    Scene notes:

    … level with low wind, transformation. Once an active volcano, this profile captures its dome shape that is prominent from this green meadow. These gentle slopes seem like the only way to traverse the top without technical gear. This morning sky has no clouds. A three second interval is used. The meadow is around one quarter of the frame, and a tree line has a variety of broadleaf and evergreens, while the mountain itself looks solid green from trees. A stable blanket of ground-fog moves left-right, slowly meandering, with a few fragments closer and higher in the frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    16 seconds and 1 frame.

  • Kauai alternate viewpoint of Waimea Canyon under clouds and some shade

    Scene notes:

    Rain and shadows on Waimea Canyon. Waterfalls are visible on the opposite side of the canyon in the background (left). Plants on the right of the frame are blowing in the breeze. On the bottom left, orange stones are brighter under the shade of thinner clouds.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    15 seconds and 2 frames.

  • Svalbarð looking west in northern Iceland over water with clouds on hills in distance

    Scene notes:

    A small ship is seen in the water steaming out to see late in the clip. Throughout, two layers of clouds. While fog rolls on the distant foothills of a mountain, the shadows break through where the upper layer gives way to sun. Time-lapse length (at 30 fps): 18 seconds and 5 frames.
