    Scene notes:

    …under Grand Canyon viewpoint in the snowy winter. A foreground of white, a middle ground of orange stone, and a background of all the stone colors of the southwest. Light clouds, low level fluffy formations, cast crawling shadows on the vast boulder fields, rock steps and corniced ridgelines and summits of the canyon.

  • 1 of 2 | Panning past icicles and moss in the forest where shadows move

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Similar to another clip in this scene, the camera is reset in another position. The overhang of moss and a hillside can be an ideal place for icicle formation, as this scene makes apparent. Very low or no wind makes the shade from tree limbs and twigs soft and stably moving across the ground in a predictable direction as the camera slowly pans to the right. Snow still exists in spots on the forest floor, adjacent to these large icicles, droplets visibly forming on their tips of them.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    25 seconds and 2 frames.

    View with alternate video source

  • Night sky brief transition to moonrise over snowy mountain

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    As the moon rises and the frame zooms in digitally, the mountains increase in natural light, stars overhead in a cloudless sky. The scene displays low to medium coma. The mountains are half-snow-covered, the other half is too steep, rock faces and cliffs that plunge. Flutings comprise the cirques of accumulated snow.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 28 frames.
