Caught in the sunset, a towering cloud is bright Halloween orange under a floating blanket of
mid-level Castellanus and stratus clouds, lit up from below in intricate pinkish-orange details, from
extremely small to medium in features, the clip progresses from near sunset to near total dusk.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
32 seconds and 8 frames.
Just around sunset when the light is most orange, the lone atlas cedar is midway to the fog, which
seems to be rising just behind these trees. There is a wide vista of bright fog stretching miles out,
and the hill that spans the valley below creates a shadow on the fog further away, miles out. It’s
quite windy, apparent from the speed of the water vapor just beyond.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
23 seconds and 8 frames.
The lone tree stands an apparent vigil over the wave of fog that is roiling in the dusk light far
below on the countless other trees.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
13 seconds and 2 frames.
Many clips of Precipice are like one another, and some share the same scene at different times. All
Precipice clips take place on a steep drop-off, even if that drop is out of frame. They all have in
common a cloud or fog layer either at below the point of view’s elevation and are at or near
sunset.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 19 frames.
The silhouettes of the foreground evergreen trees make two thirds of the frame. As the sun is closer
to the horizon, pinks dominate the fog’s color, which is rapidly evaporating into dusk. Any light
rays from the clip this is the continuation of are gone, owing to the position of the fog now being
behind the trees.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 27 frames.
