    Scene notes:

    The UAS floats and moves slowly over the ocean at sunset without focusing on the sun. A light haze tones the highlights to moderated brightness. Not time-lapse. No interval, since the source is video.

    Scene notes:

    Expanse of meadows and fields under morning clouds in Strokkur, Iceland. The formation of lower clouds on the medium to heavy side play over the flat interior of the expansive plains below. Many small and medium-sized vents spout steam regularly, with a larger spouting from a vent midway through playback. The cloud shadows of the morning shift quickly on the green fields and trees that are close by.

    Scene notes:

    In the distance over Lake Tahoe, a fog bank is rolling. In the sky, clouds and crisscrossing contrails are illuminated around 40,000 ft in the morning sun, when colors change fastest (with the exception of dusk). The chardonnay yellows of the horizon and bluish-purple of the deep sky this dawn are on display.

    Scene notes:

    …rocky, snowy winter peaks. Symmetrical slopes dominate the frame, with rocks and small boulders among evergreens that lead up to near the very tips of these mountain tops. With light, low rolling clouds pouring over and piling on these steep slopes, jagged, snowy peaks poke out like jigsaw teeth.
