    Scene notes:

    Wind breezes on water, pristinely colored in the caldera of the dead volcano. The snow on the left hand of the frame persists on the rim of the lake, and the sky has lower and high-level clouds- Cirrus and contrails.

    Scene notes:

    Winter on Crater Lake: the snow covering the landscape is fresh. The vast lake is not entirely in the shadows of the clouds, as a break in the layer of thick low-level cover reveals light on the lake. The turbulent winds blow on the water, making their marks on the surface as they travel, along with the shadows. Blue sky patches are slowly covered by dawn clouds, which clearly precipitate on the opposing side of the caldera, near Wizard Hat Island. The ridge that comprises the crater’s rim, a drop of 100s of feet, is a winter forest.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    43 seconds and 12 frames.

    Scene notes:

    The lake caldera spans the frame, with Wizard Hat Island in the upper-right of the frame. The snow on the north facing slopes make the right-side of the frame a winter landscape around the water. The lake itself has many different breezes playing on its surface, owing to the shape of the rim that encircles it. Rocky cliffs frame the lower left and right, with smaller junipers and other species of trees.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 5 frames.
