… clouds float by overhead and on mountains. A wide-angle view from a hillside overlooking an aspen
grove. Behind, mountains rise on both sides with low clouds and shadows moving past. The same grove
is featured in this clip series from a closer vantage point in three other clips.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
11 seconds and 14 frames.
Clouds float by overhead and on mountains. The continuation of another clip. The camera’s orientation
and position has been adjusted. A two second interval is used.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
10 seconds and 26 frames.
The ocean flows hundreds of feet below, with the foreground the edge of a grassy cliff, initially
comprising four-tenths of the frame. The frame pans upwards as the sun goes down, illuminating some
of the stratus clouds from below. They are blown in the strong ocean winds, the same ones pushing the
waves far below. The sun is shown going below the horizon. In the distance on the left, another
headland of Iceland is apparent.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
16 seconds and 18 frames.
A steady amount of fog pours through, while just above. Without a layer of cloud above, the full
brightness of the sun is coming through the canopy at top-right, spreading out as sunbeams on the
ferns, mossy rocks, and vegetation of the hill, which climbs 45 degrees and fills a third of the
frame. A three second interval is used.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
18 seconds and 14 frames.
Approximately half the frame is shadowed in a mountain’s shade, with desert plants in the foreground
meadow. The clouds flow off the ridge, and every air current can be seen on the outer edges of these
clouds, which run aground on the top-left of the frame, billowing, and crawling.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
11 seconds and 22 frames.
… landscape below with Sierra Nevada range. On the Inyo range east of the Sierra Nevada, one sees
deep into the range to the west, countless peaks spanning north-south. A few at right are under
stratus clouds, but the large majority are Cirrus fibratus, dense enough to shade the landscape as
they pass over the snowy Bristlecone pine-filled hillsides and slopes, which are some of the oldest
trees.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 13 frames.
The mountains of the Sierra Nevada range do not entirely catch the low moving clouds on them, which
are blowing and slightly billowing and casting shadows on the snowy peaks and cliffs. Below, the
peak-coloring of the Aspen grove stretches closer from left to right. With leaves of varying colors
from red (afar) to orange (middle ground) and greens with yellow (close). The age of the trees may
provide hints as to the varying colors.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
18 seconds and 4 frames.
A third of the frame consists of fresh snow. Young pines grow in the cold arctic environment.
Overhead, the dusk sky has a mid-level of stratus that moves off to the right as blue hour occurs
late in the clip. The sky begins mostly cloudy and ends mostly clear.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 20 frames.
