  • Mossy stone in winter as icy branches are shading, making the fog have ray appearance

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Mossy stone, frosty moss. Branches with the Spanish mosses and other frosty branches frame the sunbeams from the shifting fog. The shadows from the trees are cast on the mossy rock at left, and one tree in particular is two-thirds of the frame, wind-blown slightly over the years, causing it to lean towards the steep slope, more mossy stones under it, sky-blue in the background.

  • Panning left on a creek with lush plants, flowers time-lapse

    Scene notes:

    Many mature Crocus plants with their flowers in bloom, purple, and following the small creek which comes through the composition far to near. Many meadow trees are spaced well apart, until the clearing beyond, and more woods. The grasses cover the terrain as the camera pans left to mossy trees and more flowers.

    8 seconds and 21 frames.

  • Snow melting on small mushrooms hiding under shadows

  • Panning past a tree trunk to a forest hillside in the afternoon

    Scene notes:

    A lichen-covered tree is panned past, towards a steep downward slope of a mossy-floored evergreen forest. Shadows pass the ground as they move with the sun’s angle later into the day. At clip’s end, a blue pond far below is seen in the upper-right frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds and 23 frames.

  • Winter light rays on fog shining through frosty…

    Scene notes:

    Snowy, frost-kissed branches which create shade. An exemplar of the beginning of winter in Oregon’s forest. Sopping wet Spanish Moss hangs from several thin branches is illuminated brilliantly in complex light rays, created from fog moving in and out of the scene. They stretch left-right from the small tree. More hanging beards of Spanish moss on the right help to create these shadows, and the sun slowly moves in the bright pale blue-sky that is barely seen behind these evergreen trees in the forest beyond.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    15 seconds.

  • Shadows move smoothly over forest floor and trees with Spanish moss

    Scene notes:

    Both Spanish and Reindeer moss is observable on the two largest tree trunks of this scene as the camera pans slowly down on the scene. At the outset of the clip, a red flower is seen at the right of the frame. Shadows move
