I'm back from my first experiments in Yosemite Valley for a multimedia story. Take a look at the new teaser.

The timelapse took almost four hours to complete and in its raw form is 25 megapixels per frame. That means the image could be projected in an IMAX theater and still outresolve a seven story screen.

Watch/Download it in HD here.
