Video – People in Yosemite: A TimeLapse Study by Steven M. Bumgardner

People in Yosemite: A TimeLapse Study from Steven M. Bumgardner. Watch the big, HD version on Vimeo. It’s better.

@YosemiteSteve (aka Steven M. Bumgardner) who makes the great Yosemite Nature Notes videos sent me this great time lapse video he shot back in 2005 showing people in Yosemite.

Steven said, “I spent about a week in Yosemite during the busy month of July. The footage was all shot in real time, and then sped up in post.

I chose busy places during busy days to show the effects of this mass of humanity. I could have just as easily pointed my camera in another direction and shown nothing but plants, animals and wilderness. Yosemite is popular, but it’s also still a relatively wild place.”

I love the footage of the climbers and the mass of cars you see streaming past Yosemite Falls. Really makes you realize how crowded the Valley can be in the summer time.

Thanks, Steven!
