  • 3 of 3 | Shifting, dark snowy rain clouds on vast lake

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Wind on water is visible throughout this frame. Strong gusts push the water chaotically on the surface of the vast, deep volcanic caldera. So much freshwater fills this vast crater that it is one of the deepest lakes in the world, the lake spans well outside the viewing angle of this POV. After days of solitude and nothing but clouds, light shafts eventually peak through the cloud and snowfall to brightly illuminate sections of water next to Wizard Hat Island.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • On steep mountain cliff peaks, morning clouds grip…

    Scene notes:

    … the slopes and loiter on almost no wind. One may assume on first viewing a few seconds of watching the stratus is inevitably going to override the sky, but that does not happen; instead, the clouds are caught and created on the mountain peaks. Four snowy peaks, with one dominating the left quarter, in deep snow, are intermittently covered. The other three have sheer faces too steep for any snow to cling to. The light turns pinker as time moves on.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    22 seconds and 14 frames.

    Scene notes:

    On vast lake when medium heavy clouds pass quicky on the wind and water. Heavy clouds over Crater Lake.

  • 1 of 2 | A snowy and frosted forest hill is brightly lit up at sunset

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A very snowy forest hill with a steep slope, and only one mossy stone. A magic hour sunset illuminates the snow, and the snow takes on ambient light, pink, while some direct sunlight gets through the woods to shine directly on nearby, snowy branches, frosted from a night and day of freezing temperatures. A five second interval is used.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 15 frames.
