Deep into blue hour, mountain peaks behind the point of view cast dark shadows deep into the pink,
dusk sky. Facing a desert landscape which comprises an eighth of the frame, largely as a silhouette.
The moon, full, is seen alone in space. A few low-level clouds in the distance.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
6 seconds and 22 frames.
A gradient of color after the sunset typical on a cloudless dusk at high-altitude (10k ft or more),
the sky quickly dims as the sun keeps moving under the horizon into night. A monolith from the
mountain that overlooks the lands below is in the bottom-right of the frame to add uniqueness and
interest.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 15 frames.
Moving behind the trees to night, the filtered light is caught on the delicate frost to glow in the
physically still but temporally altered to enhance the movement of the light colors and angles on the
winter forest.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
6 seconds and 13 frames.
A single ridge of fog bisects this stratus layer of fog beyond with no foreground. Cloud-fog the
color of Butterscotch on their tops where the hits them, and pouring steadily towards the left, as if
it’s a river about to turn into a drop and become a waterfall.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 11 frames.
The sun radiates vibrant sunbeams, filtered through the evergreen tree on the left of the frame. The
fog moves rapidly left to right, and as its edges pass through the middle ground, the tree creates
shadows where it physically blocks the light. The sunbeams are most pronounced midway through the
clip. The colors of the glow change from bright gold to Papaya orange.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
21 seconds and 13 frames.
An evening on windy Mt Diablo, a foreground of vegetation precedes the several hills in small layers
of fog. The wind whips the fog over the hillsides below, as the humid air glows brightly near the sun
in the upper-third of the frame. Only in the distance of the Bay area are there more fog layers. The
sky is otherwise cloudless, as the close fog passes nearby intermittently, brightening the whole
scene for brief moments.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
21 seconds and 2 frames.
Eleven distinct ‘waves’ of cloud banks can be observed spanning the clip’s payback. At this
elevation, the tops of stratus clouds beyond and just a few hundred meters away move very quickly in
the wind. An effect on the cloud from the land can be seen, owing to the ‘crashing’ transformation
effect that the waves of clouds rapidly show. As the afternoon progresses closer to sunset, the color
begins to change as well.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
19 seconds and 25 frames.
As the point-of-view pans to the right over melting ice on a foreground rock, the fog, just beyond
the close tree line below, begins to inundate. Sunbeams are observed during moments of time when the
fog’s upper visible limit is the same altitude as the trees. On a grassy slope that comprises the
middle ground, the fog eventually becomes an obscuring factor in the sunset light.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
17 seconds and 29 frames.
