Framed by trees on Mt June, this stable inversion layer is very close to the camera. One may assume fairly that the start of the clip is going to show the fog coming in quickly, but this does not happen. Explanatory info: Batteries of cameras do not last long in the mid-2000’s due to contemporaneous technology.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
16 seconds and 26 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.

Radiant intensity on humidity, and air movements are exemplified. When the clouds blocking the sun move away, the ambient light gives way to direct illumination. A one second interval is used for this fast-changing, windy scene. This glowing is the effect of the sun being close to setting for the night. On rocks in the foreground (left), the sunlight is also present. On low-level clouds at right, the light also glows. The wind whips the present fog. There Atlas cedar in the middle ground standing slightly above the rest. The camera slowly zooms out.

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):
13 seconds and 9 frames.
At and below the point of view, flowing clouds between foreground stones and background mountain ridge that dips into the clouds at right. The clouds are blown away by wind, while the flowing stratus layer is seemingly kept out by the silhouetted ridge. A ‘sun dog’ is visible on the higher clouds (not to be confused with the lens flare).
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
13 seconds and 09 frames.
The camera is intermittently in fog as it backs away from the edge on a dolly. Around the middle of the playback, the sunlight shines onto the stones and vegetation (left). There is a precipitous drop and a small breche in the foreground. The blue sky, cloudless above, comprises a third of the frame.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
11 seconds and 16 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.
… of fog shines on forest at sunset. Tumbling and shifting just beyond the tree line is a cloud layer of stratus. The sun is observed going towards the horizon as the layer behind these silhouettes transforms.
