Green and shimmering lights of the Aurora Borealis 2 of 2
Scene notes:
A towering complex of clouds at sunrise, with the sun outside the frame. The point of view is angled steeply upward and southerly. Where the sun glows in amber and gold on the clouds exposed to its light, both delicate outer edges of denser towering clouds and nebulous areas from later in convection are brightly illuminated. Almost certain is the probability these clouds will produce rain later in the day.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
11 seconds and 24 frames.

Scene notes:
…or a sunset on snowy bright mountains. The moon rising sends enough alpenglow to the mountainsides to brighten them like a sunrise. The stars overhead in the top half of the frame wheel around as the Earth spins at night.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
16 seconds and 25 frames.

Scene notes:
The mountain rises into the night sky, cloudless, and starry. A low to medium amount of coma is evident.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
15 seconds and 29 frames.

Scene notes:
A moon-rise over Monument Valley. Cirrocumulus and Cirrostratus clouds moving in a starry night sky against three massive monoliths in the far desert. An eight second interval is used with a long exposure to capture more light than what is visible to the naked eye.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
21 seconds and 4 frames.

Scene notes:
Low mist pouring over darkened mountains at night. Stars move overhead in very long exposure and large aperture.
Behind a lone hilltop tree, the night sky is clear

Scene notes:
The outline of the Milky Way and Andromeda is visible above the Juniper and other conifer trees, as the Earth whirls and spins, but of course it’s the sky that appears to be rotating. The camera physically pans downward. Airplanes and meteorites are visible. Nearer to the horizon is more light pollution from the central California valley. Aircraft

Scene notes:
After blue hour, mid-level clouds, patchy and fleeting, move in steadily in the moonlight, shadows dimly moving on rock faces near the bottom-right of the frame at points. Mt Whitney (center) and neighbors are silhouetted in the night, with nearer mountains that are shorter but much closer on the left and right flanks.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
20 seconds and one frame.

Altocumulus is the name for the clouds which appear in the second half of the clip above the mountain face. The night is starry and otherwise clear.
