Yosemite Nature Notes – One Day In Yosemite

On Tuesday, June 26th, 2012, I was one of thirty filmmakers spread throughout Yosemite National Park to create this portrait of the park and the people who visit and work there.
Every time I visit this place there is something new to take in and experience, but this film really made me aware of all the different happenings on any given day in Yosemite.

Yosemite // Winter 2012

For the first time in a long time my yearly February Yosemite visit ended without any snowfall or downpour. Nothing. Nada. You can imagine the disappointment written on my face as we headed home back to LA. But that’s just it, Mother Nature is always in charge, and you have to respect that.

In a way, good photographers are not lucky; they are storm chasers and light catchers. Seeking out the angry weather and only shooting when the best light rears its’ head.

This year I did something new: each image is comprised of only 1 exposure. In the past, I have always bracketed my shots, which means to take the same photograph at different changes in exposure. Some lighter, some darker.

The older I get the more I have learned to slow down and let the image in front of my lens dictate how I should capture it.

Yosemite HD

Since I’ve been up in Yosemite all week, I thought this time-lapse video was the perfect time to share.

This video is a collaboration between Sheldon Neill and Colin Delehanty. All timelapses were shot on the Canon 5D Mark II with a variety of Canon L and Zeiss CP.2 Lenses.

This video was dedicated to the families of Markus Praxmarer who lost his life while climbing Half Dome on September 19th, 2011 and Ranger Ryan Hiller, who was crushed by a tree January 22nd 2012. They will be missed.
