…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.
Canyonlands, Utah, near the Anticline Overlook, where a long rocky road leads to these sudden cliffs and viewpoint. Far below at right, a canyon is completely shadowed. In the foreground, a three-sided precipice of a rocky outcrop. The left frame has a sheer cliff face of several hundred meters, as it slowly brightens.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 15 frames.
The deep dark of the ‘blue hour’ that comes after sunset, with just a few spots of cloud catching glowing pink light, but the clouds continue moving in complex patterns. The mountains are having a definite effect.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
8 seconds and 18 frames.
Mossy stone, frosty moss. Branches with the Spanish mosses and other frosty branches frame the sunbeams from the shifting fog. The shadows from the trees are cast on the mossy rock at left, and one tree in particular is two-thirds of the frame, wind-blown slightly over the years, causing it to lean towards the steep slope, more mossy stones under it, sky-blue in the background.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
10 seconds and 25 frames.
Sunset with pink clouds rapidly changes to blue hour and nighttime, a huge boulder field is silhouetted on the sky, which has high clouds that evaporate in the night quickly.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
20 seconds and 24 frames.
A diagonally-oriented cloud formation stretches across the frame as higher clouds also meander overhead. On the landscape, a turret-shaped boulder and other oddly-shaped formations (right). Playback length (at 30 fps): 4 seconds and 22 frames.
The continuation of clip #197. The camera’s position and orientation has been changed.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
4 seconds and 14 frames.
