  • Fog falling slowly in a forest exposing the greens of conifers on the hillside trail

    Scene notes:

    Fog catches the sun and the shadows of the tall trees cast shadows on the glow. The hillside is steep and falls away from the left frame, covered in ferns and vegetation, which slowly move on the breeze. The fog slowly falls away, taking the sunbeams with it.

  • 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.

    Scene notes:

    Small pines by the hiking trail. The light rays are dominant and clip’s beginning and end. There is a period of no fog in the middle of playback. The hiking trail passes by the tree at left. The greens of the trees are vibrant when the fog fades at clip’s end. Lens flare: partially present.

    15 seconds and 10 frames.

  • Slow moving fog before the forest, lit by the morning sun

    Scene notes:

    One of the slowest-moving of the forest fog clips. Trees of varying age and size, all evergreen conifers, are the subjects of the frame, while the upper limits of a fog bank is. The sun pours through the branches, and the high radiant intensity on the fog makes for a bright light ray effect. A small fraction (lower left) of the frame is a grassy hill foreground. The greens on the lower right stand out, mossy branches of trees illuminated.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 3 frames.

  • The sun sets on a forest hillside

    Scene notes:

    A single Bigleaf maple tree, slanted from being windblown so often (such is nature), on a hillside in the woods. The beyond area visible in the background as openness. The sunset is reddening the scene, and the breeze is playing on the leaves harmlessly until the dark. Not included in the Dawn and Dusk since no visible sky is shown.

  • Moss on stones, illumination in the evening transforms with time

    Scene notes:

    A no-sky sunset, this forest scene features a foreground dominated mostly by shadows shifting on mossy rocks and a fallen tree. The interval used is ten seconds. In the remaining one-third of the frame, trees of the forest are in the background, trunks slightly irregular from being windblown on this woodsy hillside.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 2 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.
