  • Panning over Crater Lake looking to island…

    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.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    5 seconds and 19 frames.

  • Large heavy clouds over vast Crater Lake late

    … afternoon cast shadows on the sparing water beneath. The continuation of another clip. The camera’s orientation and position has been adjusted.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 3 frames.

  • Reflection of blue-sky and clouds in Crater Lake, late morning

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Wind breezes on water, pristinely colored in the caldera of the dead volcano. The snow on the left hand of the frame persists on the rim of the lake, and the sky has lower and high-level clouds- Cirrus and contrails.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 8 frames.

  • Moving over flowers next to a bright blue pond under a sky with very lightly moving clouds

    Scene notes:

    The wind blows on the water as the highlight of this spring scene, which moves over purple flowers with more yellow ones at left. A distant hillside under fleeting low-level clouds and their shade.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds and 29 frames.

  • Crater Lake early morning in the winter with the wind on water below moving

    Scene notes:

    Winter on Crater Lake: the snow covering the landscape is fresh. The vast lake is not entirely in the shadows of the clouds, as a break in the layer of thick low-level cover reveals light on the lake. The turbulent winds blow on the water, making their marks on the surface as they travel, along with the shadows. Blue sky patches are slowly covered by dawn clouds, which clearly precipitate on the opposing side of the caldera, near Wizard Hat Island. The ridge that comprises the crater’s rim, a drop of hundreds of feet, is a winter forest.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    43 seconds and 12 frames.

  • At fall, distant aspen grove with yellow leaves…

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    … under clouds and shadows beyond a small lake. Past a lake, in the distance on some rugged and steep hills leading to higher peaks, a large grove of Aspen trees is under frequent shadowing from heavier low clouds, which are moving away from the point of view. Snow can be seen on the higher altitudes in different places.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    5 seconds and 17 frames.

  • Shadows and the breeze on pristine waters of Crater Lake and Wizard Island

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The lake caldera spans the frame, with Wizard Hat Island in the upper-right of the frame. The snow on the north facing slopes make the right-side of the frame a winter landscape around the water. The lake itself has many different breezes playing on its surface, owing to the shape of the rim that encircles it. Rocky cliffs frame the lower left and right, with smaller junipers and other species of trees.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 5 frames.

  • Hetch Hetchy reservoir in half-fog, with a waterfall

    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.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 15 frames.
