Brightening pink dawn over boreal forest in winter
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
White spruce and other species of trees in the northern Canadian boreal forest stand below the pre-dawn sky, comprising about ninety percent of the frame. Mid-level clouds are quite detailed further near the horizon behind tree shapes and are more nebulous and stratified overhead closer turn more vibrant purples and pinks. The camera faces the west at sunrise at clip’s end.

1 of 3 | Low clouds moving at night over mountain range in moonlight
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
A night over a rocky landscape, winter mountains under a small bank of clouds include Mt Whitney. Very small, lower clouds rapidly roll in the sky in the upper frame with the stars in the blue moonlight. Mt Whitney is shown as a snowy saw-toothed ridge in the distance.

Silhouetted hill side by a city suburb at night
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
What makes these scudding lower clouds so bright? Lights from nearby Walnut Creek impose their light from below on them, incandescent and brightest where the city itself is. The brightened clouds silhouette the trees of the hillside, as airplanes pass overhead rapidly. The sky has stars, and their number pales in comparison to the city lights in the landscape below on the lower-right of the frame. Now clip# NGT087.

3 of 3 | Aurora Borealis are the Northern Lights

Scene notes:
…which strobe, creep, and flow in the night sky. The continuation of another clip. High Cirrus, highlighted in red by normal light pollution from one of the most northern towns of Alberta, stand against the bright green of the northern lights. It is likely coincidence that makes the clouds and Aurora seem connected in some ways at parts of the sky. There is no ground horizon shown exempt for a small outline of trees in the bottom-right of the frame.

Above mountains, above clouds, the night sky…

Scene notes:
… is seen in deep dark colors of stars 1 of 2. Above a cloud which is caught on the mountain it shrouds this night, the stars whirl. The low cloud has motion blur due to the exposure length. The clouds roll leftward at high speed, only the slightest outline is illuminated by moonlight. The Milky Way is slightly visible. There are at least four airplanes that speed through the night.

Scene notes:
A 50mm lens at open aperture (f1.4). Far above a mountain peak, a mid-level cloud layer gradually works its way into the frame, silhouetted in the dark night sky. Coma (comatic aberration) is present at moderate levels.

Wide view of galaxy in the night composing of stars, many meteorites, planes
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Directly overhead in the northern hemisphere after midnight in summer, the Milky Way is clearly visible in the center of the frame, dust clouds countless light years away obscuring many of the stars. There are so many stars in our galaxy alone that, when looking towards the center of it in person, the countless points of light compose a picture of endlessness and indescribably numerous of star systems, planets, and celestial phenomena.
