Medium-density clouds in the late afternoon backlit…

Scene notes:
… Backlit by the sun making stark contrast, undulating. These low-level clouds move along a wind left-to-right, transforming as they go. Stark backlighting is necessary when capturing crepuscular rays and shadows to preserve highlights. Two or three separate bands of cloud are evident in the lower half of the frame, the largest of which show signs of nearing future precipitation, with the upper half containing smaller patches of varying density overhead. Length at 30 fps: Seven seconds and nine frames.

Scene notes:
Needles District, Canyonlands. The meadow has a towering rock formation silhouette (right) against the evening sky which has a sliver or portal of open blue throughout. The mostly cloudy sky has areas of golden, glowing rain clouds that move overhead.

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.

High contrast reds on detail dusk on upper-level stratus and Cirrus
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Filling the sky at dawn are Cirrocumulus clouds. Out of the frame and over the horizon, other clouds block out the light in the second half of the clip. Grapefruit colors and pinks shine on the upper-level clouds as a one second interval is used to create a longer clip.

Stable air around Mt Si in Washington has a low fog…

Scene notes:
… level with low wind, transformation. Once an active volcano, this profile captures its dome shape that is prominent from this green meadow. These gentle slopes seem the only way to traverse the top without technical gear. This morning sky has no clouds. A three second interval is used. The meadow is around one quarter of the frame, and a tree line has a variety of broadleaf and evergreens, while the mountain itself looks solid green from trees. A stable blanket of ground-fog moves left-right, slowly meandering, with a few fragments closer and higher in the frame.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
16 seconds and 1 frame.
