    Scene notes:

    …at dusk on Mt Tamalpais as sunset passes by. Stratocumulus clouds stretch for miles far below the serene meadow hills with creeping, windblown trees. The open sky is a ‘Hoki’ color, or a dusty-blue, and the horizon is a mix of Dusky Rose and Pale Oranges that make up the quarter of the frame. California sage brush, Chaparral, and Oaks are the main types of trees and shrubs shown.

    Scene notes:

    Frost covered, mossy trees, all on a forest slope. A distinctly Oregonian forest, with moss and trees covered in a moving fog that is just the same altitude as the point of view. Panning downwards from frost-covered moss of a defoliated tree, before the many pines and cypresses of varying age and size. At bottom and left of the frame, ferns and mossy trees make the forest carpet, sloping steeply downwards, with other limbs and trunks seemingly coming out of and back into the cold winter mist of pristine air quality.

    4 seconds.

  • Vivid light rays on fog shine head on in the forest above

    Scene notes:

    Fog, mist, at just the right altitude will create sunbeams, light rays, on trees. The frames pans downward slowly towards a felled tree trunk. Many fine details from the tree are in the center of the frame, and this is no coincidence; the object between the sun and camera will cast the shade.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds and 19 frames.

  • Mossy stone in winter as icy branches are shade making the fog have ray appearance

    Scene notes:

    Mossy stone, frosty moss. Branches with the Spanish mosses and other frosty branches frame the sunbeams from the shifting fog. The shadows from the trees are cast on the mossy rock at left, and one tree in particular is two-thirds of the frame, wind-blown slightly over the years, causing it to lean towards the steep slope, more mossy stones under it, sky-blue in the background.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds and 25 frames.

  • Panning left on a creek with lush plants, flowers time-lapse

    Scene notes:

    Many mature Crocus plants with their flowers in bloom, purple, and following the small creek which comes through the composition far to near. Many meadow trees are spaced well apart, until the clearing beyond, and more woods. The grasses cover the terrain as the camera pans left to mossy trees and more flowers.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds and 21 frames.
