Night moonrise at Grand Canyon looking northeast

Scene notes:
From a point in Grand Canyon, the horizon may be level, but the land isn’t; this is owed to the nature of the geography of the surroundings of the National park. The bright object illuminating the landscape is not the sun, but the moon. A long exposure captures the light for a period of time to greatly intensify the brightness of the scene in comparison to the human eye. Smoke wafts in the canyon from a wildfire.

A viewpoint from south rim of Grand Canyon

Scene notes:
In the mid-morning with clouds above and cliffs all forward. The continuation of a Night clip. The exposure has been adjusted for the daytime. The high Cirrus clouds are tending to clear, as well as the smoke in the window of the canyon beyond where impassable red rock cliffs, scree and degraded side slopes, and colluvium boulder fields dominate the land below.

Extra-light clouds casting a few shadows transforming

Scene notes:
The snow-covered rim of both the north and southern rim of Grand Canyon is highlighted under moving lower, fluffy clouds. Clouds from outside the frame cast their dark shadows on the cliffs and rim as they pass swiftly in the winter wind, their transformations almost muted playsinline compared to the clouds of summer. The lower temperatures are responsible for the relatively sluggish air currents around and in the clouds themselves.

Scene notes:
The sunset from Pike Creek Vista, Grand Canyon. The northwestward view shows the canyon stretching vast distances under the sky, which comprises the top quarter of the frame. Mid-level clouds shape the light above while the landscape shades itself, cliffs and precipices in the dark. The sun disappears below the horizon in this darkening scene. Original footage from 2005.

Golden Gate Bridge traffic motion at night

Scene notes:
…with city lights behind, aircraft taking off into the sky. An observer on the Marin Headlands sees much of the city from one view, where the bay enters the ocean in the other direction. Spanning the bay is the bridge, cars speeding along as they always do. As night falls, the lights glow reddish, the blues of blue hour change, and the airplanes take off in the sky, which comprises about a sixth of the frame. Ships are seen coming through the bridge and leaving, such as a tugboat escorting a cargo ship.
