Capturing a moment of time at dawn in the winter among the positively red hoodoos of sandstone and dolomite, which owes their odd shapes to the erosive patterns from these rocks. Snow blankets this unusual and wild landscape, as it stretches and flattens out into the distance where a ridge separates land and sky. The sun, out of frame, rises, and with it the snow brightens, and shadows recede.

A winter landscape at Grand Canyon facing north from South Rim, with light, fluffy clouds. Along the vista and foreground, the shadows of the clouds move steadily along the scene. The north side of the canyon has a blanket of snow on the rim, which is mostly under very low vapor cover.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
20 seconds and 11 frames.
Filling the sky at dawn are Cirrocumulus clouds. Out of the frame and over the horizon, other clouds block out the light in the second half of the clip. Grapefruit colors and pinks shine on the upper-level clouds as a one second interval is used to create a longer clip.

An example of a partly sunny sunrise. The morning dawn sheds light on the mountain range, illuminating it in filtered sunlight, but halfway through the clouds have moved in between mountain and sun. Shadows of the clouds move in. Above and to the west, more clouds, a system extending so far off westward it is still night on earth where it reaches.

On an overlook at Bryce Canyon in winter. A low-level stratus layer slowly gives way to light. Similar to another clip with more lighting, the snow begins to brighten near the end of the clip. The lowlands glow in the sun’s radiant intensity. This means they both absorb some of the light and emit it in all directions.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
44 seconds and 2 frames.
The mountain range is bathed in alpenglow, pink ambient lighting. High clouds provide the color, minutes after sunset in the winter. The mountain range is expansive in height and width, and is also defined by striated rock steps, cirques, flutings, fallen seracs, crags, long cornices, ice walls, and summits. The range at right has ice and snow fields as well as rock steps and an aret’e peak. The wide sky composes roughly two thirds of the frame.

… sunset as blue surrounds gray forms. The continuation of another clip. The camera’s orientation and position has been adjusted. Blue hour on the Sierras, with low clouds showing terrain (orographic) effects of landscapes below, as air currents move in patters and are effected by changes of large scale on the ground. Here, the Sierras end in what is called normal faulting, and this has an effect on the clouds. The intricate movement is highlighted against a pristine blue dusk behind the clouds.
