So the past week I went to Yosemite on a camping trip and came back yesterday. Had the best week ever. It was a 96 or 97 year record of the highest water level (not including floods, which I guess are considered different)...so the main attractions were the rivers and waterfalls. But I recorded other stuff. But I had so much fun camping, it was best thing I've ever done :D

To start with, since I wanted something uploaded...as on Youtube if you want to do good on there, its best to upload at least one video a week, or two weeks at most. Too tired to do anything major though. But over the next week or two, I'll get some footage of Yosemite up, as those are the videos that actually show what its like. Probably do slideshows too.

So on to the videos...

The first video, and my favorite out of the ones I've uploaded out of them all, so far...is a close up of a squirrel who was digging up food it had buried. The camera does move a bit, but I left some of that in because I thought it looked a bit better, gave it a more "natural" look to it I guess is the word to use.

These next two videos aren't meant to be exciting or anything. But more of a relaxation video. They are of a campfire we had on the last day of the trip, so you can watch/listen to the flames and listen to the birds in the background. I know at least for me, watching a campfire is pretty relaxing. Both videos are the same, but one I just looped back to play again from the beginning, so its twice as long. I made both, because one of my teachers suggested the shorter video is good for someone who doesn't have a lot of time, and the other can be used for someone with more time and want to relax more.

I've also been to Yosemite before, three times to be exact. It's a beautiful place. You should probably put this in your blog, though. I did something like this before, and the moderators here weren't happy. Just a tip.

I just thought it was odd that the TC posted this on OT rather than on his blog. I know it's kind of lame, but AFAIK these topics aren't allowed since they don't create much discussion.

I'm sure we could discuss which wood from there is best to burn, where the best spot is, etc. :P

I've been posting Youtube videos for a while now, never been asked not too by anyone. I know some may have seen them already.

I do these videos/pictures for a couple reasons...because I love nature so much...and I hope to make this a job one day, either be paid by Youtube or even work for National Geographic. Plus, its nice to share my experiences with other people, and learn from my mistakes and what not. :)

Speaking of that...one comment I got from a friend was I should have been lower to the ground on the campfire videos, but a bit late for that now.

Forget what I said then. By the way, have you visited Bridal Veil Falls?

No, that was one waterfall we didn't go to. Bridal Veil Falls was on the list of things to do, but we just didn't have time.
