This video shows Yosemite NationÂal Park in all of its gloÂry. Watch as darkÂness descends over Half Dome after a gorÂgeous sunÂset. Then, lookÂing to the heavÂens, we observe the brilÂliant sky and the milÂlions of stars visÂiÂble. It’s Yosemite like you’ve nevÂer seen it before.
The video was creÂatÂed by ShelÂdon Neill and ColÂin DeleÂhanÂty, who share an interÂest in time-lapse phoÂtogÂraÂphy and found each othÂer via Vimeo. The result, after numerÂous visÂits to Yosemite, was this comÂpletÂed project. All time-lapsÂes were shot on the Canon 5D Mark II with a variÂety of Canon L and Zeiss CP.2 lensÂes. The music accomÂpaÂnyÂing the video is “OutÂro” from the new album HurÂry Up, We’re DreamÂing by elecÂtronÂic band M83.
One of the scenes from this video is of El CapÂiÂtan, a verÂtiÂcal rock forÂmaÂtion that’s twice the height of the Empire State BuildÂing. Wall: The JourÂney Up tells the heroÂic stoÂry of Steve Wampler’s quest to become the first perÂson with CereÂbral PalÂsy to climb El CapÂiÂtan. The inspirÂing video/film trailÂer is worth watchÂing.
