The heart of Yosemite 4k HDR | 8k HDR 21:9

„Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer. Camp out among the grasses and gentians of glacial meadows, in craggy garden nooks full of nature's darlings. Climb the mountains and get their good tidings, Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed, but nature's sources never fail.“ - John Muir - Our National Parks, 1901
El Capitan, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls. Everyone knows those famous attractions of the nature in Yosemite National Park.
All these are within a few square miles around the Yosemite Valley. Yosemite Valley is less than 1% of the whole Yosemite National Park area. And many visitors only see that valley. Its like the heart of Yosemite National Park and thats why we want to bring it to the screens in incredibly detailed 8k resolution with real High Dynamic Range (HDR), 50fps and cinematic field of view in 1:2,39.

I was able to visit Yosemite one week before they closed for the corona virus. The park was almost completely empty and the weather could not have been more perfect. It was hands down the most beautiful experience of my life.

[@ronald_soethje]

Yeah Yosemite is so amazing. Hope to be back soon. The trip in May is canceled for now ... :(

I watched this video on my Sony Xperia 1. With its 4K OLED display with BT2020 at 10bit color gamut, this eye candy of a video is given justice.

Just got an ultrawide HDR monitor today and ran this on my old 1440p monitor next to my new ultrawide HDR 1600p monitor, both set to 1440p. I didn't get it until they started showing mountains and on my old monitor the sun washed everything out, but on my HDR monitor I could make out every detail. Then I realized the white labels weren't even visible on my non-HDR monitor. HDR isn't quite what I thought it was but its awesome.
