  • 1 of 2 | Panning past icicles and moss in the forest where shadows move

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Similar to another clip in this scene, the camera is reset in another position. The overhang of moss and a hillside can be an ideal place for icicle formation, as this scene makes apparent. Very low or no wind makes the shade from tree limbs and twigs soft and stably moving across the ground in a predictable direction as the camera slowly pans to the right. Snow still exists in spots on the forest floor, adjacent to these large icicles, droplets visibly forming on their tips of them.

  • Vivid light rays on fog through a cypress tree on a hill

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Generally speaking, the foggy forest is not a dynamic source of light- it’s normally diffuse and thick enough so the light above cannot even penetrate it. But when the ceiling of the fog is at the altitude of the observer, the sunbeams highlight the ferns on the forest floor.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds and 20 frames.

  • Vividly illuminated by the sun which is backlighting a tree in the woods looking up

    Scene notes:

    This clip differs from other forest clips in the following ways: there is no ground horizon, and the frame digitally zooms slightly. Blue sky behind the evergreen trees of the morning woods is visible. The fog diminishes by clip’s end.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    18 seconds and 29 frames.

  • Behind a tall plant, light rays shine and pulse in the forest

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Broad-leafed plant in the intentional foreground stands tall (right) among very long and finely details light rays (aka God rays) created by shadows from branches and tree trunks. The green forest floor (bottom-left) is brightly illuminated. The light shifts with the movement of the sun. The fog has variable density with time.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    17 seconds and 17 frames.

  • Into dark, snow before three trees in foreground below clouds

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A third of the frame consists of fresh snow. Young pines grow in the cold arctic environment. Overhead, the dusk sky has a mid-level of stratus that moves off to the right as blue hour occurs late in the clip. The sky begins mostly cloudy and ends mostly clear.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 20 frames.
