Clouds and Shadows Time-Lapse

A time-lapse movie from a late autumn day.

I’m a huge fan of time-lapse movies. To me, there’s nothing that does a better job bringing what looks like a motionless scene to life.

So I make a lot of time-lapse movies. You can find a bunch here in the Time-Lapse playlist on my personal YouTube channel.

The one here was shot a few days ago on December 1. I used one of my GoPro Hero 8 cameras in time-lapse mode, set to take a shot every 10 seconds. When you do the math, this means each second of video is 5 minutes of real time. The video here covers from just before dawn to just after sunset.

What’s most interesting about this video — honestly, there wasn’t much cloud activity — is the way you can see the shadow of the cliffs south of my home move across the landscape. The sun rises beyond those cliffs and this time of year I don’t see it on my home at all. I blogged about this phenomena, which I call the Shadow Time; this is a chance to see it in action.

I hope you enjoy this quick video. I’m hoping to share a lot more videos over the coming months as I travel south in Arizona and California. If you haven’t subscribed to my personal YouTube channel, please do. Once I get 1,000 subscribers, I can do livestreams from my cellphone and I’d really like to do live presentations at some of the places I visit. I’m only 18 subscribers short of this goal!

Malaga, WA Clouds Time-Lapse

We got weather! Watch a whole day’s worth in 9 minutes.

With low clouds and rain in the forecast yesterday, I set up my GoPro in time-lapse mode to record the movement of the clouds. Unfortunately, I set it up for one shot every 1/2 second — what was I thinking? — and had to edit the resulting video to play at 5x the recorded speed. Set to music provided by the folks at YouTube (“Angel Guides” by Jesse Gallagher), it might offer you 9 minutes of relaxation. See if you can count the area burn piles and watch the rain come and go.

I was unexpectedly called out to do a cherry drying flight on Saturday morning. Here’s footage from the nose cam with narration added in production.
