…in Yosemite over a canyon valley vista with waterfall in the distance. Half Dome is seen side-on with moving shadows around it, viewed from the west under small clouds a small waterfall is also visible.

…over a canyon valley vista with waterfall in the afternoon. As the sun sets in the afternoon, the
shadows slowly rise, with a few cloud shadow casts moving along the view below. A massive waterfall
is dwarfed by a cone shaped peak with some snow in the frame’s center. Three trees in the foreground
are silhouetted. The sun still shines on the Yosemite vista, a forest of partly burned evergreens
among the cliffs of the frame’s left side. In the top half, a low cloud billows upward as it also
disintegrates.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
25 seconds and 4 frames.
… 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.

… on the meadow below it. Half Dome is seen up close from Yosemite Valley.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
5 seconds and 28 frames.
Medium and lower-level clouds, as well as a small ‘scudding’ layer that is halfway up the mountain’s
slopes, transform all along this multicolored mountain and arid landscape of yellows, reds, and
whites of snow pack on eroded cliff faces and meltwater channels (center of frame at beginning of
clip).
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 15 frames.
Panning digitally upwards, while the mountains display four levels of cloud cover, with two on its
peaks or flank. Altocumulus appears to follow the low clouds caught on the peaks, with the same
amount of evaporation once over. The fourth layer is the high-altitude Cirrostratus, a layer of
thicker Cirrus, not affected by the lower mountains.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 20 frames.
One of the shortest clips in the whole collection.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
3 seconds and 26 frames.
Sharp peaks up close: young granite spires and glacial erosive features are featured in the lower
ragged third of the frame, while low clouds transform just overhead left-right. On the sheer stone
cliff faces, shadows are clearly moving past. Drops of solid rocks give way to trees where the less
steep terrain allows any growth.
