Another superb and very informative video Mads. The accompanying images are beautiful! You produce really top quality videos and the informative format is a winner (and perhaps a source of full time work even?). How long did you spend in the States and whilst on the same subject, how long did you spend in Iceland? Keep up with the great work mate and stay safe on your travels.🍀

Thanks Andy, very much appreciated! I would love to do this full-time, but there's not much money in it. Hopefully some day the add revenue can at least pay the rent ;) I spend 40 days and I've spend around 45 days in Iceland as a photographer divided on three trips. Have you been there yourself?

Thanks for loving our National Parks.

Still worth it nearly 6 years later! I'm planning a trip to Yosemite with my wife next summer and this is terrific. Thank you.

I only had two days there in the summer, one in the valley and one to the east side of the park, hiking the trail to Mono Pass. The east side of the park was not so busy, and still quite scenic. Lots of great pictures there, too.

Definitely one of Lovely place on the earth

thank you, love this video, enjoy and be safe

I go there on Monday, 4/1/19. Weather predicts thunderstorms, and a lot of rain! Good times! Thanks for the tips. Great video!

Is there someone who is not an Ansel Adams fan? Hard to believe in a landscape photographer as Ansel is one of the key people who made landscape photography fine-arts worthy. Besides, his photos are gorgeous. You got a bunch of good ones also. When I was there I was overawed by the view and my photos showed it.

Great introduction of the location for planning a trip to Yosemite NP. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing this video!

I'm retracing my trip to Yosemite with yours and love it.

Amazing video!!! Thanks so much!!

Great video! Never too long. Great information!

Beautiful and great tips

Great video! I'm always looking for advice & hints about the best spots and conditions to take pictures at our beautiful nation parks. This was very helpful. Keep it up!

Very well done, Mads! Was visiting Yosemite in the summer and have to admit it is one of the most beautiful places on planet earth!

Love your vids Mads.. super informative and we can feel your passion! Thank you! Even though this is in my backyard so to speak, I love that you identify your shooting locations (as many do not). Photographers should really support each other and you do this - again thank you!

Best video of Yosemite I’ve ever seen.

Exelent shots, Yosemite is a source of endless beauty.

A must see for any human.

Love your pictures. An excellent presentation of American landscapes & the beauty of Mother Nature. Also like that you show the details of each shot. You're an accomplished photographer; hopefully you can make a living doing this. Its such a pleasure to see all the places Ive been through the lens of another. Thank you for your visions.

Incredible video!! Congratulations!

Very useful. Thank you!

I cannot express how well you've done with this video. You've added camera setting to the pictures, given nice descriptions and to top it all off they are spectacular images. For researching my trip to Yosemite you've been both helpful and inspirational. Thank you. As a bonus: I've never thought about sunset, moonrise, etc. being at different speeds. Thanks.

I have hiked Half Dome three times my average is 11.5 hours 6 liters of water. One of my favorite places to photograph. The view is also great from Glacier Point of the valley

I live about 2-1/2 hours drive from Yosemite and have been there about 170 times over the years. This video does a good job of summarizing places to go and see some great views, but of course, there are many more. Something that I think should be corrected in your narration is that the river that flows through Yosemite Valley is the Merced River, which also flows over Vernal and Nevada Falls. The stream that flows over Yosemite Falls is Yosemite Creek, which flows into the Merced River. It seems like you could've included the view from Washburn Point in your video, since you drove past it on your way to Glacier Point. During the winter, the Glacier Point Road is closed by snow, but my twin brother and I have skied out to Glacier Point to get pictures almost 30 times. Anyway, keep up the good work!

Absolutely amazing! Could not have come across your well detailed videos soon enough. I am planning a trip to Moab for an outing to get away from the West last rain.

Thank you for sharing your recommendations for camera settings etc. Your videos are well edited and enjoyable, thank you so much for sharing.

That description of the Tunnel View!!

As a Californian Yosemite is a top destination. The first time you look up at El Capitan and Half Dome your mind can hardly take in the enormity of the scale of these huge mountains. As you said, Yosemite is amazing any time of year and the sheer number of possible amazing photographs has been barely tapped since the advent of photography.

Fantastic. I grew up in CA and spent nearly every summer near Yosemite. You’ve inspired a return. Can you do a tutorial on those shots with massive stacks?

More fantastic stuff, Mads. I found Yosemite challenging to come away with anything unique, especially with clear blue skies and limited time to get away from the main viewpoints. You've shown that it can be done though. It really does pay off to stay out late and get up early. Love your nighttime shots and that's definitely something I'm going to try myself! Any chance of any compositing tutorials down the road?

Am trying to figure out where to go the next couple of days. Have hit a few highlights like Tunnel View and Glacier Point so far.

As a long-time film photographer who has been to/through Yosemite many times, I tend to dismiss landscapes taken digitally and subjected to heavy-handed manipulation, becoming posters of the unreal rather than photographs. I have to give you a tip of the hat and acknowledge that some of the "assembled" photos you show here are among the most interesting I have seen of Yosemite. You didn't miss anything by skipping the summer season. The mass of tourists, tour buses and trams clog the scenery and lifestyle, making photography in the Valley frustrating at best. In summer you have to vacate to the back-country, but that experience is little different from dozens of other locations.

If you ever get back to Yosemite Valley, get a permit to camp on North Dome. It's across the valley from Half Dome, and you get views down several valleys, plus sunrise and sunset views that you can't get from the valley floor. Also, just after sunset, at least in the autumn, the entire face of Half Dome turns pink in the Alpenglow, and by November 1 or so, the night fog starts forming. There are many other stunning vistas along the John Muir Trail, with LeConte Canyon, Mt. Whitney and Evolution Basin. And if you hang out anywhere along Hiway 395 on the eastern side of the Sierra south of Mono Lake, you can catch the Sierra Wave, the lenticular clouds, and if you're lucky a "hole punch" cloud. I could spend a lifetime there.

Hi Mads. Fantastic video series!!! Just curious , what is the background music you play through the series? :

It looks wonderful, great job. However, it is a pity that you only spent time in or around Yosemite Valley. Amazing views are also on the other side of Yosemite National Park, lots of beautiful lakes etc., even the scenery with Mono Lake in front while approaching from Nevada looks nice.... I would recommend Yellowstone and Grad Teton for the next time.... but there are lots of amazing National Parks there....
