Very low-density clouds in the moonlight on rocky…

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

A rocky landscape in front of snow-capped mountains. Under a moonlit night sky, stratus clouds ascend Mt Whitney and the Sierras, but only with enough to meander. The mountain range is snowy and steep, fully lit with the moon. The night sky is starry, and in the bottom tenth of the frame, the rocky hills are at the foot of the steep mountain slopes, which have shadows from the rare cloud that makes it over the ridges.

23 seconds and 8 frames.

Short time-lapse of fog shifting heights on frost…

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

Frost covered, mossy trees, all on a forest slope. A distinctly Oregonian forest, with moss and trees covered in a moving fog that is just the same altitude as the point of view. Panning downwards from frost-covered moss of a defoliated tree, before the many pines and cypresses of varying age and size. At bottom and left of the frame, ferns and mossy trees make the forest carpet, sloping steeply downwards, with other limbs and trunks coming out of and back into the cold winter mist of pristine air quality.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
4 seconds.

Half-frozen Tioga Lake view of Mt Lyell…

Scene notes:

… under some very light transforming clouds and shade. North of Yosemite Valley is the highway to connect to the other side of the state. This Tioga Pass Road is closed much of the year due to snowfall. The snowy landscape vista stretches out to Mt Lyell of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range, which passes through the National Park.

Slower, small Cumulus clouds at winter at Grand Canyon

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

A winter landscape at Grand Canyon facing north from South Rim, with light, fluffy clouds. Along the vista and foreground, the shadows of the clouds move steadily along the scene. The north side of the canyon has a blanket of snow on the rim, which is mostly under very low vapor cover.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
20 seconds and 11 frames.

Winter in Yosemite over the woods and under heavy cloud

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

A three second interval is used for short timespan clips such as these. If not for the steep slopes of the valley cliffs, cloaked partly in dense winter fog, this scene could be reminiscent of many northern climates. The cerulean late afternoon sky is unobscured along much of the top third of the frame, but the clouds are moving everywhere.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
11 seconds and 3 frames.

2 of 2 | V slow light shaft moving toward POV on top Bryce Canyon

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

Capturing a moment of time at dawn in the winter among the positively red hoodoos of sandstone and dolomite, which owes their odd shapes to the erosive patterns from these rocks. Snow blankets this unusual and wild landscape, as it stretches and flattens out into the distance where a ridge separates land and sky. The sun, out of frame, rises, and with it the snow brightens, and shadows recede.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
8 seconds and 17 frames.

2 of 2 | Behind trees, a small fog blanket rolls on Lake Tahoe at sunrise

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

In the distance over Lake Tahoe, a fog bank is rolling. In the sky, clouds and crisscrossing contrails are illuminated around 40,000 ft in the morning sun, when colors change fastest (with the exception of dusk). The chardonnay yellows of the horizon and bluish-purple of the deep sky this dawn are on display.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
7 seconds and 11 frames.
