Interesting Ansel Adams Lexus project..."Chasing the Light" video...

Not sure if you've seen this video posted here before. I have a fascination with the passing of time on
famous photo locations of the Masters...how nature has often swallowed up these locations, or, how
some have endured as though untouched by time.

Never mind that it's a semi-commercial venture with Lexus here, just enjoy the video.

Cool video, but it's so Yupped out with all the fancy camera gear and cars.

Hence the "Never mind that it's a semi-commercial venture with Lexus here, just enjoy the video"
part of my original post. I knew there would be at least one.

You're right

It's beautifully shot. I hope this will inspire people to get out there and shoot.

Thats the spirit!
I wish I had the time to revisit many of these places on my own, with a bunch of loaded holders
and a thermos of coffee.

Thanks for the link, CropDusterMan -- I enjoyed watching the video. I gotta ask -- is your avatar you? I'm thinking, started out in a crop duster, wound up in a space capsule. It's possible!

BTW, my avatar isn't me, in case anyone is wondering.

Hey Trask,

Ya, that's me...big NASA history buff.
I started out as a photographer in NY, then got into aviation in 2005 when hard times began hitting
the editorial photo biz...sold all my gear, went through flight school and became a helicopter
ag/utility pilot. As far as my astronaut status, it's only a joke...I'm in a NASA space suit in front of
a Saturn 5 Rocket...courtesy of photoshop.lol

Always neat to revisit these areas seen in the video whether in person, a book, or in a well done production such as this. I have many fond memories and also lots of landscape shots from most all of those locations. I sincerely hope others can take the time and make some of those same journeys.......thanks for sharing.
