  • Grand Canyon with the sun’s shade shifting on the red rocks below

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The sunset from Pike Creek Vista, Grand Canyon. The northwestward view shows the canyon stretching vast distances under the sky, which comprises the top quarter of the frame. Mid-level clouds shape the light above while the landscape shades itself, cliffs and precipices in the dark. The sun disappears below the horizon in this darkening scene. Original footage from 2005.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 13 frames.

  • Pond reflects bright sunshine of sunset and the glow from hitting low clouds

    Scene notes:

    The tree line is a silhouette against the glowing sunset light, and is reflected perfectly in the pond. The scene darkens as the clip progresses, and the sun has set.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    13 seconds and 5 frames.

  • 1 of 2 | Panning past icicles and moss in the forest where shadows move

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Similar to another clip in this scene, the camera is reset in another position. The overhang of moss and a hillside can be an ideal place for icicle formation, as this scene makes apparent. Very low or no wind makes the shade from tree limbs and twigs soft and stably moving across the ground in a predictable direction as the camera slowly pans to the right. Snow still exists in spots on the forest floor, adjacent to these large icicles, droplets visibly forming on their tips of them.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    25 seconds and 2 frames.

  • Mixed cloud sunset over rocky landscape and forest

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    … in wilderness under clouds where the sun is seen. An exemplar of Altocumulus Castellanus near the center of the frame. Underlit with purple sunlight filtered from smoke, these clouds tower, owing that their names are derived from castle towers. At the end of playback, the sun can be seen brilliantly going down before disappearing into night. An airplane is seen zooming past in the sky, twice, in the upper-left frame. Upper-level Cirrocumulus clouds are gold in their altitude which gives them brilliant direct sunlight to the end.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 14 frames.

  • POV looking up at cloud layers shifting smoothly overhead as sun sets

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    This clip is illustrative of the under lighting that happens after the sun has set. From the altitude of the clouds, the light is still briefly shining on them, and the clouds are turned pink and red with oranges in between, and different levels of clouds are shown to move in differing directions according to the winds at those altitudes.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    4 seconds and 21 frames.
