Just around sunset when the light is most orange, the lone atlas cedar is midway to the fog, which seems to be rising just behind these trees. There is a wide vista of bright fog stretching miles out, and the hill that spans the valley below creates a shadow on the fog further away, miles out. It’s quite windy, apparent from the speed of the water vapor just beyond.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
23 seconds and 8 frames.
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.
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.
From extremely calm wind, a stable foggy stratus layer is far below. Round stones fall away into the center of the frame, and other trees are silhouetted behind vibrant pink vapor that seems to play on the forest scene in a majestic fashion. Hills roll off into the distance, like an ocean, the fog covers the lowlands, hills pointing out further in the distance. A sliver of cloudless sky.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
16 seconds and 2 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 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.
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):
9 seconds and 13 frames.
