  • 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

    View with alternate video source

    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.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    21 seconds and 13 frames.

  • 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.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    21 seconds and 2 frames.

  • Far above congestus clouds at sunset, rolling and losing thermal energy

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The continuation of a clip from Day. 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):
    20 seconds and 12 frames.

  • 1 of 4 | Extremely fast fog bank rolling on alpine meadow late day

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Eleven distinct ‘waves’ of cloud banks can be observed spanning the clip’s payback. At this elevation, the tops of stratus clouds beyond and just a few hundred meters away move very quickly in the wind. An effect on the cloud from the land can be seen, owing to the ‘crashing’ transformation effect that the waves of clouds rapidly show. As the afternoon progresses closer to sunset, the color begins to change as well.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    19 seconds and 25 frames.

  • 3 of 4 | Super-fast fog bank rolling on alpine meadow near sunset

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A continuation of another clip. The top fifty percent is a rolling fog layer of stratus. The base of the cloud is above ground, but the word ‘fog’ is used in this clip’s context; this is a ‘Stratocumulus’ cloud. It blankets a large area and is being blown on a strong ocean wind. Around 500 ft away in the middle-background, the transition between land and sky is not so clear. The tree line is shown being inundated intermittently. On a setting sun, the cloud glows colors of gold, with enough illumination for the grassy foreground.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    19 seconds and 20 frames.

  • 3 of 3 | On the other side of cedars, a vivid

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    … blanket of fog shines on forest at sunset. A marine cloud layer at about 3500 ft is the flank of Mt. June facing west. The sun is not yet visible in the frame, and the clouds begin to turn pinker as time moves forward,
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    19 seconds and 21 frames.

  • Panning on a winter hilltop with glowing fog creeping in at sunset with light rays

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    As the point-of-view pans to the right over melting ice on a foreground rock, the fog, just beyond the close tree line below, begins to inundate. Sunbeams are observed during moments of time when the fog’s upper visible limit is the same altitude as the trees. On a grassy slope that comprises the middle ground, the fog eventually becomes an obscuring factor in the sunset light.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    17 seconds and 29 frames.
