… the forest above Mill Valley and on Mt Tamalpais. Similar at a first glance to a creek in long exposures, fog flowing central of frame takes the shapes of running water, while remaining gaseous vapor. The layer that came in from the ocean runs far into the horizon. Even very far away on the horizon, headlands rise slightly above the stratus. Playback length at 30 fps: 25 seconds.
This vista post-sunset shows the sky in a tenth of the frame and is focused on the fog-bank below, which covers about two thirds of the lands and hills. In the dim light a hilly ridge ascends a hundred or so feet above the fog, and travels horizontally four-fifths of the frame above.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
16 seconds and 28 frames.
A three second interval captures a scene of fog on a vast landscape, the view bisected by a nearby forest hill. Observe six-tenths high in the frame, where a ridge of trees just barely reaches out of the fog. Shadows are cast in directions way from the sun, a majestic sight. In the absence of any wind whatsoever, a stable inversion layer has air currents largely from the knock-on effects of its very presence.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
16 seconds and 12 frames.
The frame pans digitally to the left, a single second interval and longer exposure is used. The fog layer far below is illuminated only by the ambient light of the dusk sky; it roils very slowly far.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 2 frames.
The silhouettes of the foreground evergreen trees make two thirds of the frame. As the sun is closer to the horizon, pinks dominate the fog’s color, which is rapidly evaporating into dusk. Any light rays from the clip this is the continuation of are gone, owing to the position of the fog now being behind the trees.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 27 frames.
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.
