Sierrapalooza 2006 - Half Dome

“Burn baby burn”

“Turbo yours is in the mail today.

MINE is in the burner! Burn baby burn.”

“You guys inspired me to post my photos faster so here they are. Click on Half Dome to go the the album




Or click here to view a slideshow of my pics. Let me know what you think.”

“Nice shots Dub.
What's most striking is difference in the amount of water flow from our trip to yours.”

“Dub - It looks like a nice presentation, but, when I saw hundreds of postage size pictures appear, I clicked "return." Just don't have a lot of time right now. Later, maybe.”

“Yeah, it did take awhile to get to the Yosemite Trip. Even then I looked at it backwards.”

“Navi - I got my DVD today!!!

AWESOME!! I loved it! Well done!

The mapleleaf transition was cool. Didn't expect the moon shot!! Liked the dedication at the end also!
Cool!!”

“Navi - I got my DVD today!!!

AWESOME!! I loved it! Well done!

The mapleleaf transition was cool. Didn't expect the moon shot!! Liked the dedication at the end also!
Cool!!”

“Cool! I wondered if anyone would notice the transitions.

How do like the soundtrack?”

“Navi - Oh, yes. I was going to mention that. Loved the sound track!! Reminded me of my hours watching TV westerns in the 60s and 70s...totally cool!

Where did you find the music?

“I'm smiling every time I start it up.
I picked up a 2 CD set at the WOW! Store (Tower Records & Circus City).

How many of the themes could you name? I know I'd have a hard time without the List of Contents.”

“Navi - I only could name about 3 or 4 of the programs, Big Valley, Bonanza, and a few others, but recognized most of them. They matched the images and the mood just right!

You little digital did OK too!”

“Thanks for looking guys. I noticed the difference in water too...i couldn't believe how much water the vernal and nevada falls had when you guys were there. The Yosemite fall was dry which is why I don't have any of it.”

“Dub, I checked them out via your slideshow. It took me right to the route we did. You got some real nice shots. Kind of like reliving it a little later in the season.”

“Navi - I can't wait to get home tomorrow and see if my DVD is there! You're awesome! (and so is your cooking!)

Dub - Thanks for taking me back to Yosemite. nice!”

“Got the DVD. It's movies and popcorn time.”

“Anxiously awaiting the reviews.”

“I didn't get mine yet. :(”

“8^(
I guess that's what you get for living in the sticks.”

“Wow!! Great DVD Navi...Guitgrl and I just finished watching it and loved it..
Thank you so much for all you put into it..
You're the best!!!”

“8^)”

“Navi - What were the titles on those sound tracks?”

“We don't want to give it away before everyone has had a chance to guess do we? 8^)


Check your e-mail”

“Navi - I watched it again! The sound on your little camera was amazing. The frogs croaking at Cathedral Lake was a nice touch.

I showed my wife the "group photo shoot" at Little Yosemite Valley, including JerBear's little move at the end. She laughed and said, "Oh. That was ugly!" ....She has a point.

Think I enjoyed it more the second time.

Will check my email.

Thanks again!!”

“ROFL”

“Wanna lives in the sticks..not me. :p”

“Phil, did you like spouting rock spring and no vocal?

Song, then how come gotten yours?”

“Navi - I noticed sprouting rock spring!!! Cool!

Lots o' work there, navi!”

“Woohoo, Got it and watched it just now.
I have two things to say.
1. That's an awesome video Navi.
2. Can't wait to watch it again.
:D”

“We just saw the best movie. It was so good we watched it twice!!!

Great sound track. I recognized the tunes, but couldn't name them. I loved the roaring water and the way the video followed the water. And the photography was excellent.”

“Two great things happened thursday,

“great sounds as well as all the highlights. What can we edit! LOL You asked for it. Thanks”

“I leave town for a few days and come home to find a DVD in the mail. I'm going to set down and watch that video with Gnome and Mather with a big bowl of popcorn right now!

Thanks Navy!


Moz”

“Navi- Way to go on the dvd! We watched it a little while ago. We all loved seeing the pictures together and in order - it really brought back memories. The hearts and Canadian leaves were nice touches, too! And the dedication on the end...I'm honored!

=)”

“Yea!!! I just checked my mail and it was in there, just finished about 5 min ago. AWESOME. !”

“I'm ready to go again after watching the video.

Very nice job Nav!”

“Hodgeman and I just returned to his place, he found the DVD in the mail and we just finished watching it!

Great Job Navi!!!

Hodge said to tell you he appreciates the Maple Leaf transitions!”

“Awesome Navi! I enjoyed the DVD almost as I enjoyed you fixing steaks, potatoes and Tequila! :-) Thanks for all the work on this! Butterflies rule!”

“I get back from an attempt of Baxter Pass with Trailtrekker to find all this praise. It does warm the heart. Your enjoyment makes the work worthwhile.

And the dedication on the end...I'm honored!

=)”
Gnome

Gnome, you earned it. We never felt we were dragging a little kid with us. I like how you held your own and handed the banter right back. How old are you now? Ninus 2?

And the photography was excellent.”
wannabp

It's easy when you travel with GOOD picture takers. Your flowers shots are great.

the end of the hilarious as usual group shot...funny...but....o my eyes ..my eyes!

om

Now really, could I have left that out? 8^)

Navi - I noticed sprouting rock spring!!! Cool!

Phil

I'm searching for thanks for finding out how to remove the vocal. Do you recall what you named the spring? My camera picked it up very clearly. 8^D

I enjoyed you fixing steaks, potatoes and Tequila! :-)

I thought that was going to be our secret! Now there's no telling what people will expect from me next.





How many of the soundtrack themes songs can you all name?



I'm so glad you all are enjoying my handy work and hope you can relive our trip together for years to come.
As it started as "By Invitation Only" you know how special you are to me.

“Nav, I got back from Del Norte country last night and found the DVD in the mail. I'll watch it tonight, hopefully. Thanks.”

“What do you mean "Hopefully"?
Do it NOW! Boy!




Dang kids!”

“Navi - I think I remember what I called that spring...I need to be more sensitive to people making video clips!!”

“Navi - I've watched the DVD twice already and listed to the sound track twice more while working on my computer! It's all good!”

“Should I burn you a copy of the CD?





I know the answer. 8^D

you got mail.”

“Thanks, navi!!

You could tell me the name of the CD. I tried to find it, but there are lots of similar albums.”

“I recognize the songs, but not sure about the names. Bonanza, probably Gunsmoke. Gonna watch/listen again.”

“I am new to this page and wanted to know how you add your picture when you post theses messages..Thanks Donna”

“Bonanza is one. Gunsmoke is not. Nor Maverick or Rawhide. 8^(



Donna, you have to have the photo on a website (not Webshots) and link to it.
Hope that helps.”
