Generally speaking, the foggy forest is not a dynamic source of light- it’s normally diffuse and thick enough so the light above cannot even penetrate it. But when the ceiling of the fog is at the altitude of the observer, the sunbeams highlight the ferns on the forest floor.

This clip differs from other forest clips in the following ways: there is no ground horizon, and the frame digitally zooms slightly. Blue sky behind the evergreen trees of the morning woods is visible. The fog diminishes by clip’s end.

Broad-leafed plant in the intentional foreground stands tall (right) among very long and finely details light rays (aka God rays) created by shadows from branches and tree trunks. The green forest floor (bottom-left) is brightly illuminated. The light shifts with the movement of the sun. The fog has variable density with time.

Pine bristles and light rays. The fog ceiling is breaking and allows for surprise light rays to shine through the branches. Blue sky is above and seen through the evergreen tree canopy.

The passing fog varies in its ceiling; the light is not pulsating, but the fog layer is changing. The orange colors are naturally glowing on the radiant intensity of the sun, where shadows are cast, the fog is not illuminated.

The opening in the forest hillside allows light rays to shine on the grassy ground. Panning downward from where the fog is brightest, the ceiling provides the sunlight needed to filter through the trees and create such intricate shadows and glow.

… passing through trees, hits the forest plants on the floor A stunning forest floor is illuminated by radiant intensity of the sun. The fog bank’s ceiling is just above this old-growth forest. Expanding out from the top left, the sun’s rays pour out, filtered perfectly at times by the shifting fog.
