… by city light under stars, aircraft flying over Observable are high Cirrus clouds passing out of
the sky’s starry night. Land sky traffic is visible above Lake Tahoe City on the opposite end of the
lake. Taken by the northwest of the lake with cedars making a silhouette (left).
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
36 seconds and 25 frames.
The outline of the Milky Way and Andromeda is visible above the Juniper and other conifer trees, as
the Earth whirls and spins, but of course it’s the sky that appears to be rotating. The camera
physically pans downward. Airplanes and meteorites are visible. Nearer to the horizon is more light
pollution from the central California valley. Aircraft

An original, recently remastered time-lapse of the sky with clouds.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
14 seconds.
A small portion of the frame has the mountains silhouetted on the Northern Lights. The other roughly
95 percent of the frame comprises stars. The Aurora flash stochastically as the long exposures span
the length of time that the light intensifies and dims.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
7 seconds and 21 frames.
The finest details are shown as these mid-level clouds above the Grand Tetons mountain range peaks
above the tree line, far away. The very fine texture of a smaller cloud in particular, glowing in
reds and pinks, lives shortly as the sun fades after it has already set. Juniper trees frame the
mountains and span the vertical axis of the frame.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
11 seconds and 14 frames.
Lake Tahoe in the distance is seen through trees as the dusk sets in and the upper-level clouds turn
from pink to being illuminated by city lights. The snowy foreground shadowed; airplanes are seen far
in the sky moving through the frame. Stars come out after blue hour. On the one road visible, traffic
moves quickly, and a ship is seen moving from afar.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
59 seconds and 14 frames.
A small mountain formed on tectonic plate accretion that is the coastal range in Oregon, and a
congestus cloud just above shows a nice angle of the cloud from side-on while high up on Mt June’s
meadows, mid-afternoon. The cloud billows and transforms in a warm summer day, and when it suddenly
meets a mass of dry air from the east vaklley side of the mountain, it disintegrates.

Many clips of Precipice are like one another, and some share the same scene at different times. All
Precipice clips take place on a steep drop-off, even if that drop is out of frame. They all have in
common a cloud or fog layer either at below the point of view’s elevation and are at or near
sunset.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
8 seconds and 13 frames.
