A 3D Walk on Frozen Tenaya Lake
January 8, 2012 By Tony Leave a Comment
I took a trip up to Yosemite a few days ago because I heard people were ice skating on Tenaya Lake! The Tioga Road is open because there has been very little snow this Winter. I got up early and got out to the lake right after sunrise with my 3D camera. I filmed a whole show, but the 3D files … [Read More...]

Book Review-Geology Underfoot in Yosemite
I just finished this book and LOVED it! It's everything I need to get started on my study of Yosemite Geology so I can create my Geology of Yosemite shows. The book has short chapters (vignettes, they call them) on specific places that show an … [Read More...]

I always stop at Two Guys Pizza on my way home from Yosemite. The calzones are wonderful cheeze filled bliss after a long trip or a day hiking. You can sit out on the deck and enjoy a beer or soda while you relax and talk about the … [Read More...]

3D Tuolumne Grove
Finally! Finally I have something done in 3D. This has been a much longer process than I ever would have imagined. I think if I would have known how long it was going to take and how many issues I would have to overcome, I would have never … [Read More...]

Yosemite Valley In The Snow
There's nothing like a trip to Yosemite in the Winter when the snow is on the ground and the crowds are thin. I love to get up in the morning before the sun rises, get some coffee and a scone, and drive to Yosemite with empty roads and the … [Read More...]

The Mist Trail
I'll be revisiting The Mist Trail many times for my Yosemite show, but the Beautiful Places show is great. I was actually on my way up to the top of Half Dome, but never made it. I spent most of the day filming and was probably the slowest hiker … [Read More...]

Half Dome From North Dome
If I could transport myself anywhere on Earth when I need to feel peace, it would be here on North Dome watching the sunrise in complete silence except for my boots crunching on the granite. The North Dome Beautiful Places episode was one of my … [Read More...]
