Epic wide shot establishing scene, early morning light breaking through a dense, misty, redwood forest. Sunlight streams pierce through the thick canopy, creating dramatic god rays that illuminate the forest floor. Heavy fog clings to the ground and weaves between the towering redwood trees, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The trees themselves are ancient, with textured bark and weathered surfaces, detailed with intricate patterns. The color palette is dominated by cool greens, deep browns, and a soft golden glow where the sun touches the fog. The composition follows the rule of thirds, with the trees framing the shot, leading the eye deep into the forest. Volumetric light is key, enhancing the depth and perspective. The foreground features fallen redwood needles and branches, while the background fades into a misty blur. The overall mood is one of mystery, tranquility, and the immensity of nature. Soft shadows are cast by the trees across the forest floor. The atmosphere is humid and damp, with a feeling of untouched wilderness. The lens should be a wide angle, with a shallow depth of field to emphasize the foreground textures and the distant trees. The camera angle is low to capture the height of the redwoods and enhance the sense of scale.
