  • Flying over burned trees to distant waterfall…

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    …as the shadows rise late in the day on mountain cliffs. This UAS clip with a three second interval flies onto quickly rising shadows from the steep cliffs. Much of the forest is burned, flying under below, the trees recently browned and scorched from the heat where the forest once was alive. Centered is a medium-sized waterfall and creek, which the camera flies to. A blue-sky has a few receding mid-level clouds. The wilderness area has sheer cliffs of several hundred feet. The terrain is mostly without soil and only stone with some winter snow still on the upper ridge in one area.

    Scene notes:

    in Yosemite above Bridalveil Falls. There is a rainbow visible in the waterfall due to the angle of the sunlight. There is a 2-mile hike to climb to get here, away from Tunnel Viewpoint. The rainbow only appears part of the year, and heat-distortion from the day is usually visible.

    Scene notes:

    …over a canyon valley vista with waterfall in the afternoon. As the sun sets in the afternoon, the shadows slowly rise, with a few cloud shadow casts moving along the view below. A massive waterfall is dwarfed by a cone shaped peak with some snow in the frame’s center. Three trees in the foreground are silhouetted. The sun still shines on the Yosemite vista, a forest of partly burned evergreens among the cliffs of the frame’s left side. In the top half, a low cloud billows upward as it also disintegrates.

    Scene notes:

    …National Park. A famous view over a canyon valley vista with waterfall in the afternoon 1 of 2. Above the side-road parking lot, overlooking Yosemite Valley on a perfectly fifty percent cloudy day there is a POV. High up on a trail away from the tour buses, a maintained path leads straight up the hill face, warm and dry ground on this day. these cumulus meander in the general direction of the wind, their shadows moving along the greenery and granite of these steep cliff faces and arched domes in the distance, Half Dome, still with the bits of snowy outcrops on its very top.

    Scene notes:

    … in the distance and opposite side of water. The lake is shown from the viewpoint on the hydroelectric dam (out of view) itself. The wind gusts blow on the lake in randomized patterns from the landscape. Comprising four-tenths of the frame, the reservoir holds much of the state’s fresh-water supply and generates significant energy. There are multiple waterfalls visible on the left half of the frame, and fog moves in complex transformations on the erratic direction of wind.

    12 seconds and 15 frames.

  • Lower density clouds, fluffy over Yosemite Valley around noon, making shadows

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Left to right: El Capitan, a massive monolith that’s a kilometer in height and straight rock face. The snowy area tucked away behind El Capitan is Cloud’s Rest. Then Half Dome, the cross-sectioned dome monolith. Sentinel Rock is the slope which is in front of Half Dome. Bridalveil Falls is closer. Low clouds float and transform on the forest valley floor and all the aforementioned features.
