  • Crater Lake early morning in the winter with the wind on water below moving

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Winter on Crater Lake: the snow covering the landscape is fresh. The vast lake is not entirely in the shadows of the clouds, as a break in the layer of thick low-level cover reveals light on the lake. The turbulent winds blow on the water, making their marks on the surface as they travel, along with the shadows. Blue sky patches are slowly covered by dawn clouds, which clearly precipitate on the opposing side of the caldera, near Wizard Hat Island. The ridge that comprises the crater’s rim, a drop of hundreds of feet, is a winter forest.

  • Shifting, growing thunderstorm over sunrise waves

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A morning Nimbus cloud, with leading edge glowing in the morning light. The short storm (due to the fact that the time of day is morning, and this is likely the remnant of a more active storm from the previous day) plows forward left-right. In the lower third of the frame, the calm ocean waves reflect much of the sky, and many small birds, sandpipers, run around on the sand, mainly halfway through the clip. Rain can be observed under the cloud. There is a

  • Slow sunrise of colors on high clouds stirring with shifting, brightening light

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Very small details in the sky in the desert dawn with a sliver of land. The interval used is one second. Slower clips can be more useful for applications such as relaxation and biofeedback. The mid-level clouds are positioned so other clouds do not block the light on the way to their underside.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    41 seconds and 28 frames.

  • Growing sunrise light grows to meadow from Grand Tetons to daylight

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Pink light of the morning sun as it rises above the horizon off-frame from the east. A few fleeting clouds from the night before linger, as the scene brightens, and day breaks over the fields which comprises nearly half the frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    18 seconds and 22 frames.

  • Brightening pink dawn over boreal forest in winter

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    White spruce and other species of trees in the northern Canadian boreal forest stand below the pre-dawn sky, comprising about ninety percent of the frame. Mid-level clouds are quite detailed further near the horizon behind tree shapes and are more nebulous and stratified overhead closer turn more vibrant purples and pinks. The camera faces the west at sunrise at clip’s end.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    16 seconds and 26 frames.

  • Slow pink sunrise on mountains in winter facing west with fair sky

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Almost silhouetted in the morning blue hour, stones of the Alabama Hills in California lay large in the in the foreground of the Sierra Nevada mountains, which are pink and brightening in the sunrise light.

    16 seconds and 2 frames.

  • 1 of 2 | Behind trees, a small fog blanket rolls on Lake Tahoe at sunrise

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Pines and other conifers are framing the sky on all sides of the scene in the early morning above Lake Tahoe, which is surrounded by a forest, and blanketed partially with a fog layer. The sky quickly brightens as high clouds and an airplane contrail turn all the colors of sunrise. The ground is snowy. A similar clip exists.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    38 seconds and 4 frames.

  • Ascending Mt. Shasta at sunrise in the winter

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A very fast UAS ascends at morning on Mt Shasta. The POV views the south flank of the snow-covered mountain. Pinks shine on the snow from the morning sun, and a few areas of sky have higher level clouds.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 14 frames.
