Still pictures with depth

Morning mist lies on a mirror-calm mountain lake below a snowy peak, with dark firs close on the left. Its depth map lets the near trees slide against the far mountains as the view drifts. Motion sets how far it travels, and Breathe swaps the drift for a gentle bob and a slow zoom.

Glacier

Sharp-crested dunes catch a low, warm light, their ripples lit on one face and shaded on the other, with paler dunes fading into haze behind. The near ridge shifts gently against the far ones as the view drifts. Motion sets how much it moves, and a second slider picks a slow orbit or a gentle zoom.

Sandstone

Sea stacks and cliffs rise from a misty shore at sunset, the surf smoothed to a silvery blur, with mossy rocks in front. The rocks and cliffs move against the stacks behind them as the view drifts, though the water itself stays still. Motion sets how far the view travels.

Lilac Haze

Heather in the foreground gives way to green hills folding down to a winding river, with low cloud pooled in the valley and soft light breaking through. The heather shifts against the far hills as the view drifts, which gives the valley its depth. Motion sets how much, and Breathe trades the drift for a slow zoom.

Moss

Red and orange maple leaves hang over a moss garden, where a stone lantern stands among tall trunks in the fog. The branches in front shift against the lantern and trees behind as the view drifts. Motion sets how far it moves; the palette tints widgets and leaves the picture alone.

Kyoto

The Milky Way rises over a dark mountain range, with the last orange of dusk along the horizon and the whole sky mirrored in a flat plain of water. As the view drifts, the mountains shift just enough against the sky to read as depth. Motion sets how much, and Breathe swaps in a slow zoom.

Midnight

A red fox sleeps curled up in deep snow beside a stand of birches, with flakes caught in the air and a pale forest fading behind. Nothing in the picture moves on its own; the fox and birches shift slightly against the background as the view drifts. Motion sets how far.

Nordic

A heron stands in shallow water on a misty morning, its reflection beneath it, with reeds along the right and fog hiding the far bank. As the view drifts, the bird and reeds move gently against the pale distance. Motion sets the amount, and a second slider picks a slow orbit or a gentle zoom.

Opal

Curled on a wooden windowsill in afternoon sun, a tabby sleeps beside potted ferns and succulents, with a linen curtain on the right and a garden beyond the glass. The cat and plants shift slightly against the garden as the view drifts. Motion sets how far, and Breathe swaps in a slow zoom.
