  • Vast fog on a forest landscape as the comes down and glows on the layer

    Scene notes:

    This wide vista is on the top of the butte called Spencer Butte in Oregon. The stratus of fog below and far away to the coast range is pierced by several hills and ridges with full tree cover. The foreground trees are silhouetted. The sun moves tower in the top-left, and the golds turn reddish. There is a layer of high clouds as well in the fraction of the frame that composes the actual sky.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    18 seconds and 11 frames.

  • Fog on, amongst trees with wooded hills down below

    Scene notes:

    … lit clouds on a forest wilderness viewpoint. Douglas firs stand into a patch of fog lit up brilliantly in the sun. The glow creates stark shadows where the trees block some of the incoming light. The closer the tree or object is to the source, the more light that it blocks. The fog is blown on the wind, and looking upwards in the frame, more fog glows brightly, further into the sky beyond.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    32 seconds and 8 frames.

  • 2 of 3 | A vivid blanket of fog shines on forest at sunset on the other side of cedars

    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.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    16 seconds and 26 frames.

  • 2 of 3 | Just beyond the tree line where some dusk fog is blowing on wind

    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.

  • Just beyond the tree line where some bright fog is glowing on wind

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    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):

  • POV-level other side of cedars, a vivid blanket of fog rolls like sea at sunset

    Scene notes:

    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.

  • Behind an Atlas cedar, waves of fog silhouette, rolling in sunlight at dusk

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The lone tree stands an apparent vigil over the wave of fog that is roiling in the dusk light far below on the countless other trees.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    13 seconds and 2 frames.

  • Moving on rocky cliffside in and on the edge of a fog layer at late daytime

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The camera is intermittently in fog as it backs away from the edge on a dolly. Around the middle of the playback, the sunlight shines onto the stones and vegetation (left). There is a precipitous drop and a small breche in the foreground. The blue sky, cloudless above, comprises a third of the frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds and 16 frames.
