1 of 2 | Late day Yosemite winter transforming into sunset

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

A winter view of Yosemite valley: a very small stratus of fog on El Capitan’s ridge plays slowly as the shadows rise at an also slow pace. The water of Bridalveil Falls still pours near the right of the frame, mostly shadowed by the land at clip’s end. Evergreen trees reside on every surface that is not too steep to grow on, and the valley becomes Tenaya Canyon further out, snow becoming more fulsome.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):

Important Public Announcement Regarding Footage Licensing

A significant change to my policy regarding the use of my footage and visual assets.

Effective Oct 14, 2025, I have made the decision to cease all external licensing of my entire library of footage. This means that I will no longer be granting new licenses for the use of any of my previously produced or future footage in third-party projects, whether commercial or non-commercial. This change is being implemented as I evolve my focus for the road ahead.

What This Means for Users

For Current Licensees: If you have a valid, pre-existing licensing agreement for my footage, the terms of that agreement remain in force as outlined in your original contract. Please refer to your specific contract for details.

For New Projects: With exception of Fair Use, please be aware that you cannot use any of my footage in any new content, productions, advertisements, or public displays without my express written permission, which, under this new policy, I will not be granting.

Inquiries Regarding Services

While I am ending new licensing, I am currently open to discussing new opportunities. If you have any questions about this licensing change, or if you wish to inquire about other services I offer—such as commissioned work, custom projects, or direct collaboration—please do not hesitate to reach out.

You can contact me directly.

I thank you for your understanding as I make this important transition.
