    Scene notes:

    … with wind on the water under light clouds. Physically panning on the lake, from the scree slide of the southwest next to Wizard Hat Island. The gentler wind creates small ripples on the lake in the afternoon, low clouds in the sky. Similar to another clip.

    5 seconds and 19 frames.

    Scene notes:

    Precipitation as rain is observable approaching Wizard Hat Island (right). The light shines on the ripples of water on the lake as the wind blows more randomly than the cloud shadows move. The huge fresh-water lake has a winter landscape on the opposing rim.

    Scene notes:

    Altocumulus mackerel undulating, casting. An extremely large ‘arete’ shape on the mountain across the valley, massive and snow covered, formed from glaciers on both sides creating an axe-shaped ridge. Like the scales on a Mackerel, the mid-level clouds cast shadows on the vista of mountains beyond, wooded with evergreens and snow, as the town of Banff sits below-right. Time-lapse length (at 30 fps): 5 seconds and 25 frames.

  • Stone hills in the late day with sunlight behind clouds undulating with shadows

    Scene notes:

    Mountains in the background under cloud cover, Mt Whitney appears smaller than the surrounding peaks in the frame, but only because its distance is greater than the peak at left. Complex cloud gatherings and movements in the air above the camera. Scene continues in Dawn and Dusk.
