  • Fog on, amongst trees with wooded hills down below

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    … lit clouds on a forest wilderness viewpoint. Douglas firs stand into a patch of fog lit up brilliantly in the sun. The glow creates stark shadows where the trees block some of the incoming light. The closer the tree or object is to the source, the more light that it blocks. The fog is blown on the wind, and looking upwards in the frame, more fog glows brightly, further into the sky beyond.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    32 seconds and 8 frames.

  • 2 of 3 | A vivid blanket of fog shines on forest at sunset on the other side of cedars

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Framed by trees on Mt June, this stable inversion layer is very close to the camera. One may assume fairly that the start of the clip is going to show the fog coming in quickly, but this does not happen. Explanatory info: Batteries of cameras do not last long in the mid-2000’s due to contemporaneous technology.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    16 seconds and 26 frames.

  • Receding fog bank far below as the night falls on the forest beyond cedars

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    This vista post-sunset shows the sky in a tenth of the frame and is focused on the fog-bank below, which covers about two thirds of the lands and hills. In the dim light a hilly ridge ascends a hundred or so feet above the fog, and travels horizontally four-fifths of the frame above.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    16 seconds and 28 frames.

  • On the other side of cedars, a blanket of fog shines on forest 1

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A three second interval captures a scene of fog on a vast landscape, the view bisected by a nearby forest hill. Observe six-tenths high in the frame, where a ridge of trees just barely reaches out of the fog. Shadows are cast in directions way from the sun, a majestic sight. In the absence of any wind whatsoever, a stable inversion layer has air currents largely from the knock-on effects of its very presence.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    16 seconds and 12 frames.

  • 2 of 2 | Behind stones in the valley, bright fog flows below on the dark woods

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    From extremely calm wind, a stable foggy stratus layer is far below. Round stones fall away into the center of the frame, and other trees are silhouetted behind vibrant pink vapor that seems to play on the forest scene in a majestic fashion. Hills roll off into the distance, like an ocean, the fog covers the lowlands, hills pointing out further in the distance. A sliver of cloudless sky.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    16 seconds and 2 frames.

  • 2 of 3 | Just beyond the tree line where some dusk fog is blowing on wind

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Golds on stratus looking towards the sunset are commonplace. This fog layer moves on a steady wind below the Douglas Fir trees. The sun sets below the horizon and all the light is removed from the scene except the slight ambient light from the sky. A foreground of grass is visible in the first half of the clip.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    14 seconds and 26 frames.

  • Late afternoon on a hillside, fog stirs behind trees

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The south flank of the top of Spencer Butte, with no sky shown, only fog lapping against the right-side of the forest just below, near sundown. A trail or two leads down to a few Atlas Cedars before the tree line, and a rocky foreground is above a grassy hillside slope.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    14 seconds and 6 frames.

  • Just beyond the tree line where some bright fog is glowing on wind

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Radiant intensity on humidity, and air movements are exemplified. When the clouds blocking the sun move away, the ambient light gives way to direct illumination. A one second interval is used for this fast-changing, windy scene. This glowing is the effect of the sun being close to setting for the night. On rocks in the foreground (left), the sunlight is also present. On low-level clouds at right, the light also glows. The wind whips the present fog. There Atlas cedar in the middle ground standing slightly above the rest. The camera slowly zooms out.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    14 seconds and 19 frames.
