  • 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.

  • Cloudy, facing west at sunrise light shifts on mountains, slow moving light

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    An example of a partly sunny sunrise. The morning dawn sheds light on the mountain range, illuminating it in filtered sunlight, but halfway through the clouds have moved in between mountain and sun. Shadows of the clouds move in. Above and to the west, more clouds, a system extending so far off westward it is still night on earth where it reaches.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds and 2 frames.

  • Very slow light shaft moving toward the view on top Bryce Canyon

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    On an overlook at Bryce Canyon in winter. A low-level stratus layer slowly gives way to light. Similar to another clip with more lighting, the snow begins to brighten near the end of the clip. The lowlands glow in the sun’s radiant intensity. This means they both absorb some of the light and emit it in all directions.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    44 seconds and 2 frames.
