Adventure Photographers Create Time Lapsed Masterpiece of Yosemite National Park

Project Yosemite, created by Sheldon Neill and Colin Delehanty, began as an adventure and morphed into a time-lapsed masterpiece.

According to their website, the men didn’t even know each other until they met on Vimeo, a video-sharing website, where their idea began and came to fruition. The men hope the video will show you Yosemite National Park “like never before”.

Check it out:

Yosemite HD from Project Yosemite on Vimeo.

Delehanty is a photographer who, since 2009, has focused on adventure photography. Neill is also an adventure photographer and filmographer who states on his website that it “has become his addiction” to share his adventures with the world. According to the Project Yosemite website, Neill and Delehanty are planning a sequel.

    I took a school trip here in High School and we hiked all the way up to the top of Half Dome. It was an great hike, which took from sun up to sun down. It is an amazing place to visit.

      ITOT – Just because you can‘t see the forest because of the trees doesn’t mean I can’t. I saw the rivers when they bubbled and burned in the 1970′s and I see the chemtrails now.

      You might want to ask yourself why you can’t accept what the government already admits. Its already in school science books, its called a sunscreen for earth. Of course thats not the truth. The truth is they have weaponized our skies.

      Tell you what, don’t take my word, your governments word, or the words in text books for it. Just go outside and look up. Watch them, then more importantly watch what happens to these trails. Then come back and tell me how awful I am for believing the truth.

      Ahhh, never mind, I do believe your eyes are closed…

      @Susan ?

      Those are contrails, not chemtrails (sic). It’s what happens when you take air, compress, and then expand it at a rapid rate. This is water vapor. Same thing as those big puffy things called clouds.

      Susan, why do you hate people?
      I love Yosemite and when I was there, I was glad that it was crowded with others enjoying the beauty so I could time and again say to other people, “wow, this is beautiful, isn’t it”.

      While I was there I saw vistas that actually made me cry.

      I hate no one and my eyes are wide open to the truth. Those views should make you cry, both for Gods beauty and for how its being destroyed.

      Ask yourself, why are birds falling dead from the sky? Why are the honey bees dying? Do you even know most of the food you eat is now genetically engineered with Round Up poison bred into seed? You can no longer wash the pesticides off, they’re a part of the plant, corn, soy, tomatoes, etc.

      Y’all are Beck fans, you’re supposed to understand the government is corrupt. Do you do no reading on your own? If Blenn doesn’t say so, you won’t even consider it? Thats sad, really sad. Sheeple.

    Hetch Hetchy is another beautiful valley not far from Yosemite, unfortunately it has been underwater since the twenties. It quenches the thirst of many environmentalists in the SF Bay area as same hypocrites deny much needed water from crops of the San Joaquin Valley. These idiots should be put in a bio-dome with no exit!

    I am so damned lucky. I can not walk without a cane anymore, but me and my brother-in-law got to be one of the few that ran a marathon from Tuolumne Meadows down into Yosemite valley. Before they shut it down. Unlike most marathons, we were stopped more often than not, embracing the wonderful views of mountains against a mirror like pond or lake. Pounding chests meant nothing as we moved on. A s I was running past the falls into the valley, all of the hikers said how wonderful we were. My kids still have the Yosemite Marathon sweat shirts to this day.

      @AxelPhantom. You are mistaken, Yosemite National Park does not have a super volcanic caldera… that would be Yellowstone National Park.

      Here is a link for the history of volcanoes found along the Sierra Mountains to the Cascades.

      You’re probably thinking of the caldera in Yellowstone National Park, in NW Wyoming, near my neck of the woods, featuring geysers, beautiful hot pools, elk and bison. Regarding the possibility of it erupting without warning anytime soon, wiping out a significant swath of the US, well, at least it would be a nice place to spend your final moments.
