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.

… and their small lights ascending before dawn. Multi-categorized clip. The moon sets behind Mt
Rainier. Looking closely afterward, a distant, single climbing party’s headlights are shown ascending
the rugged and impressive slope overnight. Morning comes, a blue hour, and far, far behind some
conifers, the snow of the mountain becomes pink momentarily against the rapidly changing sky, until
the sky is light blue, and it is day again.

38 seconds and 4 frames.
Pines and other conifers are framing the sky on all sides of the scene in the early morning above
Lake Tahoe, which is surrounded by a forest, and blanketed partially with a fog layer. The sky
quickly brightens as high clouds and an airplane contrail turn all the colors of sunrise. The ground
is snowy. A similar clip exists.

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.
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.

Bridge with lightest fog obscuring a city view. On the opposite of the historical bridge, a fog layer
persists, blowing through the traffic (right) and concealing the city beyond (left).

Pine bristles and light rays. The fog ceiling is breaking and allows for surprise light rays to shine
through the branches. Blue sky is above and seen through the evergreen tree canopy.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
10 seconds and 10 frames.
The opening in the forest hillside allows light rays to shine on the grassy ground. Panning downward
from where the fog is brightest, the ceiling provides the sunlight needed to filter through the trees
and create such intricate shadows and glow.

8 seconds and 13 frames.
