Simon Christen’s Adrift is one of the most beautiful and visually inspiring time-lapse videos we’ve ever featured.
Watch the dreamy scenes of fog rolling over the hills of San Francisco in Simon Christen’s latest time-lapse, Adrift.
“Adrift is a love letter to the fog of the San Francisco Bay Area. I chased it for over two years to capture the magical interaction between the soft mist, the ridges of the California coast and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. This is where Adrift was born.”
The video took over two years to create, as Simon waited for the perfect weather and lighting conditions, and ultimately his hard work paid off – the end result is simply incredible.
“The weather conditions have to be just right for the fog to glide over the hills and under the bridge. I developed a system for trying to guess when to make the drive out to shoot, which involved checking the weather forecast, satellite images and webcams multiple times a day. For about 2 years, if the weather looked promising, I would set my alarm to 5am, recheck the webcams, and then set off on the 45-minute drive to the Marin Headlands.
“I spent many mornings hiking in the dark to only find that the fog was too high, too low, or already gone by the time I got there. Luckily, once in a while the conditions would be perfect and I was able to capture something really special. Adrift is a collection of my favorite shots from these excursions into the ridges of the Marin Headlands.”
