Atlas Cedar before fog at sunset under pink sky
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
The unique shape of an Atlas cedar is silhouetted against the brighter layers of upper-level clouds. Slower clips like these are more useful relaxation, biofeedback, etc. In the lower four tenths of the frame a slowly roiling fog bank is pinkish from ambient light. A longer exposure speed is used relative to other clips.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
19 seconds and 25 frames. -
Fog is illuminated between the pines, creating colorful sunset rays before POV

Scene notes:
The sun radiates vibrant sunbeams, filtered through the evergreen tree on the left of the frame. The fog moves rapidly left to right, and as its edges pass through the middle ground, the tree creates shadows where it physically blocks the light. The sunbeams are most pronounced midway through the clip. The colors of the glow change from bright gold to Papaya orange.

2 of 3 | Very fast eye-level fog on hills and valley dusk
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
An evening on windy Mt Diablo, a foreground of vegetation precedes the several hills in small layers of fog. The wind whips the fog over the hillsides below, as the humid air glows brightly near the sun in the upper-third of the frame. Only in the distance of the Bay area are there more fog layers. The sky is otherwise cloudless, as the close fog passes nearby intermittently, brightening the whole scene for brief moments.

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.

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. -
Fog trying to infiltrate into cypress trees in foreground to illuminate rays
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
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.
