From Yosemite Valley, light lower-level clouds…

Scene notes:
cast shadows on the trees and meadow below. From within the park valley, Half Dome looms above the trees on the right-side of the frame. An imposing monolith rises on the opposing side, this forms a section of canyon with ninety-degree cliffs on both sides and a river in between them. Very light passing fluffy clouds meander in the cerulean blue sky. Not a long way behind the trees the valley turns in to Tenaya Canyon.

Light clouds shifting over a steep jungle cliff…

Scene notes:
…peak and hillside in late afternoon. A one second interval was used in this scene to catch the fast-moving lower clouds. On the acutely angled nearby hillsides of the Napali coastline on Kauai, a western volcanic island in the Hawaiian Islands. Vegetation of nearby trees is visible in the outer edges on the wind. Due to the very extremely recentness of the island’s volcanic formation, these steep cliffs are less uncommon on the headlands of the west coast of Kauai.

1 of 2 On Waimeia Canyon, low clouds flow smoothly…

Scene notes:
…on jungle and volcanic landscape below. So many cliffs, Waimeia Canyon is a park which has a past as a volcano. It is scientifically shown to be the oldest of the islands of Hawaii, and ‘only a few’ million years ago there were many chambers of magma that collapsed into thin lava flows in the west side and thick flows in the east, and constantly erupting basalt continued to build many of the cliffs. As time went on, the rock decomposed enough from frequent rain to create soils for a jungle to grow. The original plant species that seeded today’s ecosystem floated in from storms that were taken from their birth islands over millennia. Here, the clouds that carried this rain are building and meandering, as they so often have throughout all the planet’s more recent time. Interval: 3 seconds.

Rainbow over jungle canyon as clouds flow smoothly…

Scene notes:
… on mountainous coast casting shadows. In this UAS-based time-lapse, a two second interval is used to capture the meandering cloud that produces the rain. The rain creates an optical rainbow. Cerulean sky of the day is behind the clouds. The machine flies towards a rainbow made by the same clouds as sunset clips of this scene from the ground. Jungle is seen below, and the steep slopes approach the viewpoint of the camera. The rainbow stays near the center of the frame as the drone stays outside boundaries in a free fly zone. Rust colored stone comprises the new volcanic headlands.

Flight over jungle canyon as clouds flow smoothly…

Scene notes:
… on mountainous coast casting shadows that move by on the canyon floor and walls. Under an azure sky filled with low-level clouds, the UAS moves through the Hawaiian canyon outside of Waimea National park. The jungle gives way to sheer cliff face and is seen below with a creek moving through the canyon that it carved. Interval: three seconds. Movement: three to four feet per second in real-time.

Floating parallel to shore of the Pacific Ocean…

Scene notes:
… with waves flowing on rocks below. Cerulean sky above, the ocean below as we are over the water. The headlands of the coast are clear at points, as are the stones that make the shore so rocky. At about 300ft (or 100m) altitude, waves look small as they crash below. The deep blue see stretches into the north where the fog is already gone from the daylight heating, but the landscape makes fog formation here more likely.

Floating to monoliths on the Pacific Ocean shore…

Scene notes:
… with waves flowing on rocks below. The UAS moves towards a monolith among an outcrop of stone and shallow beach waves. A full motion clip with no interval of photos. Just beyond the monolith is a fog bank that is slowly moving towards the camera, with smaller wisps moving over the rocky shore.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
