Medium-density clouds in the late afternoon backlit…
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
… Backlit by the sun making stark contrast, undulating. These low-level clouds move along a wind left-to-right, transforming as they go. Stark backlighting is necessary when capturing crepuscular rays and shadows to preserve highlights. Two or three separate bands of cloud are evident in the lower half of the frame, the largest of which show signs of nearing future precipitation, with the upper half containing smaller patches of varying density overhead. Length at 30 fps: Seven seconds and nine frames.

Scene notes:
… level with low wind, transformation. Once an active volcano, this profile captures its dome shape that is prominent from this green meadow. These gentle slopes seem the only way to traverse the top without technical gear. This morning sky has no clouds. A three second interval is used. The meadow is around one quarter of the frame, and a tree line has a variety of broadleaf and evergreens, while the mountain itself looks solid green from trees. A stable blanket of ground-fog moves left-right, slowly meandering, with a few fragments closer and higher in the frame.

Vivid light rays on fog shine head on in the forest above
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Fog, mist, at just the right altitude will create sunbeams, light rays, on trees. The frames pans downward slowly towards a felled tree trunk. Many fine details from the tree are in the center of the frame, and this is no coincidence; the object between the sun and camera will cast the shade.

Mossy stone in winter as icy branches are shade making the fog have ray appearance
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
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.
