Up very close to an active thermal vent in Yellowstone. The fastest motion even from a very short interval.

Panning over massive monoliths in Arches…

Scene notes:
Arches National Park. Rapid shadows gain in the desert sands among the massive monoliths that stand from fast erosive geologic periods. No clouds are seen. The distant mountains in the background at the end of the day.

Steam from geyser in winter at Yellowstone 2 of 3

Scene notes:
Thermal vents surrounded by trees in the early morning release steam into cold air, which speeds condensation from hot water. The temperature contrast is higher in winter and colder weather.

Steam from hotsprings in winter at Yellowstone 1 of 3

Scene notes:
Hot springs venting steam, resembling rapidly rising clouds. Due to the energetic and copious steam from unusually high activity, this has the fastest motion of all timelapses on this site.

1 of 2 | Low clouds flow smoothly on mountainous Napali coast mountains
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Some of the biggest shield volcanoes on Earth created the Hawaiian island chain, which are completely separate from the main continental plates which shape so much of the rest of our world. As such, it seems fitting for Hawaiian to be an exotic and often otherworldly place. For being so new, the islands are, mostly, so green. The verdant landscapes are covered in jungle all the way to their peaks where the cliffs are nearly sheer. The dense woods are home to so many fruiting plants like mango, tart guava berries and sweet pineapple grown for millennia by the indigenous people. With clouds flowing and appearing to get ‘tripped up’ by this peak near center-frame, fog joins the cloud and vice versa, with no clear boundary between. Every visible air current from the orographic lift effect can be seen on the outer cloud.

Macro lens footage of ice melting close-up

Scene notes:
Exemplar scene of a fresh patch of ice melting rapidly in the sun on lichen covered rocks. This scene with no sky is an exception to the normal sky footage. This is a macro shot, with the ice just an inch or so from the lens.

Behind a river that flows from the point of view, geysers release steam under pink sky

Scene notes:
The Yosemite River flows through the scene of many steaming geysers that span the frame. The mid-level sunset clouds catch the light of the sunset, while the river reflects their light.

Time-lapse of geysers at sunrise, pinkish in morning light above a river
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Active geysers vents huge amounts of water vapor in the morning sky next to a flowing river. The plume ranges from bright pink to gold and ranges in brightness due to a cloud off-camera blocking the light momentarily.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
50 seconds and 12 frames.
