    … branches in the woods as shadows move on them. Spanish moss has grown long on these coniferous trees of the scene, which close-up, shows the shadows of other trees and its own branches moving in time. The frame digitally pans downward as the day becomes late, and shadows long. The far-hanging moss is the last feature of these close trees still evident in the light.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    28 seconds and 6 frames.

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