Gives a really good impression of what it was like, the sound helps
somewhat.

Love the wind sound/song!
Thanks, guys! And to think I almost did something to the sound. There's another piece of video with Marnie offering
advice on the sound track. :-) But this was the best anyway.
The fog is fast moving, for sure. I would have been tempted to stay there
forever shooting shot after shot after shot and
hoping something came out the way I wanted it to.
Carol, Mike and Marnie were bundled up in the car, waiting on me, so we could end an excellent day of seeing and
photographing beautiful places with a nice dinner.
Beyond that, the window of time is narrow. Earlier on such a day, it is sunny and pleasant, with the marine layer a line
on the horizon. Then the wind picks up and the fog approaches. By the time of my video, the wind is gusting at maybe 40
mph and the fog is rapidly covering the land. Soon, there is no movement to see, just mysteriously misty landscape.
Later, the fog may rise or lower as it settles in, and the wind will be almost still.
Had I brought along a pan head, I could have broken out the tripod, changed heads, and gotten a much steadier video,
while my ride drove away. ;-)
Other days, the marine layer may not come in, or may never leave. To do what you propose is more a matter of waiting for
the right day than just spending a lot of time on one day. Terrible, it would be, stuck in Big Sur for ages, waiting for
the fog and light. :-)
We were very fortunate with the weather on this trip.
