Fog Layers As Well As Bridges timelapses

Fog Layers As Well As Bridges

Note for these clips in particular: due to the cloud video service, the alternate video source will have higher quality for most users.

Mist is easily formed over the ocean, especially in the winter when the ir is cooler than the ocean. As it happens, the Golden Gate Bridge connects the two extremes of San Francisco Bay with the Pacific Ocean just on the west side of the bridge, so fog is very commonplace here.

Those who sail their boats for recreation here on the weekend usually turn around for the safe harbor after getting just a glimpse of the wild sea, satisfied to not push their luck further. They have sailed to see the underside of the bridge and the vast ocean just beyond, with no continent for over seven thousand miles.

The bridge is indeed a gateway to a sea larger than full comprehension with no land larger than some volcanic islands which are smaller than nearly any of our states; Hawaii being among the smallest.

Flying over unique sand dunes and shrublands…

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

Over sand dunes with shrublands on the right. The shadows of the nearby fog, passing on the ocean breeze, float by quickly as it unexpectedly comes in on return. The dunes don’t show a low amount of human impact- but a definite impact, nonetheless. The sky consists of the top seventh of the frame and is a mix of stratus layers under blue sky. The frame pans downward digitally from the sky.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
7 seconds and 15 frames.

… a blanket, frayed, fog climbs another wooded hill in late morning. Western Hemlock (left) and stones oversee and a symmetrical hill just above a cloud layer in the Cascade foothills in Oregon, during the late-morning. Another ridge of hills further, in center of the frame.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):

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 like 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.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
16 seconds and 1 frame.

Scene notes:

Mid-day, a vast fog bank smothers the winter day of the Willamette Valley while looking east from Spencer Butte. In the distance: the snow-covered Three Sisters, of the Cascade Range in Oregon.

Late afternoon land sea traffic around Golden Gate

Scene notes:

The brick-red Golden Gate Bridge spans the frame, never-ceasing traffic flow pouring through. Under, beyond, and before, ships of all sail, motor, and port into the bay. Observe baby-sized waves on the headlands below, made apparent by the time-lapse.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
26 seconds and 18 frames.

Scene notes:

A fog manages to cling to visibility moving into the bay, especially on the left of the frame, and shadows rise from the headlands on the hills. A cargo ship is seen mid-way through the clip exiting the bay. The city is fully visible in the distant left.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
13 seconds and 1 frame.

Scene notes:

A bright marine fog layer slowly evaporates around the Golden Gate Bridge, a small ship is seen exiting as the fog recedes. The Marin Headlights are exposed to day in the middle ground between this point of view and the bay.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 16 frames.
