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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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):
13 seconds and 9 frames.
At and below the point of view, flowing clouds between foreground stones and background mountain
ridge that dips into the clouds at right. The clouds are blown away by wind, while the flowing
stratus layer is seemingly kept out by the silhouetted ridge. A ‘sun dog’ is visible on the higher
clouds (not to be confused with the lens flare).
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
13 seconds and 09 frames.
The frame pans digitally to the left, a single second interval and longer exposure is used. The fog
layer far below is illuminated only by the ambient light of the dusk sky; it roils very slowly
far.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 2 frames.
