  • In thicker fog and dense forest, light rays persist

    Scene notes:

    … and shine when altitudes are just right. Light rays, cast by thin branches create the longest shadows cast on the glow of the sun, with the fog ending just feet above the trees. Mossy tree trunks and severed branches, remnants of them still on their trees, mostly at left, with a smaller fallen tree center-right. A few ferns are in the lower left corner of the frame, quivering slightly in a breeze.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    31 seconds and 3 frames.

  • Looking up among ferns and a broken tree; light rays

    Scene notes:

    Scattered ferns in the frame, light rays above: there is a large and tall tree stump at left, and many fine light rays pass into the forest from fog ending just above. SKU/clip number: FRS056.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps): 17 seconds.

  • Vivid light rays on fog through a cypress tree on a hill

    Scene notes:

    Generally speaking, the foggy forest is not a dynamic source of light- it’s normally diffuse and thick enough so the light above cannot even penetrate it. But when the ceiling of the fog is at the altitude of the observer, the sunbeams highlight the ferns on the forest floor.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds and 20 frames.

  • The late afternoon behind some broad-leafed trees in autumn

    Scene notes:

    Panning upwards to the canopy, a five second interval is used to capture the sun moving lower in the sky as shadows move in the winds. No ground is seen by the end of the clip, covered in ferns and vegetation.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds and 19 frames.

  • 2 of 2 | Vivid light rays on fog through a cypress tree on a hill

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A steady amount of fog pours through, while just above. Without a layer of cloud above, the full brightness of the sun is coming through the canopy at top-right, spreading out as sunbeams on the ferns, mossy rocks, and vegetation of the hill, which climbs 45 degrees and fills a third of the frame. A three second interval is used.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    18 seconds and 14 frames.
