Lunch on the Hanging Rock

A lunch on the Hanging Rock at the Glacier Point over Yosemite Valley

I am so jealous - what a beautiful view! Were you at all nervous to be so terrible high up? How was the temperature?

What did you do with those Australian schoolgirls?

No way could I do that.

It took some time to figure out what you are talking about. An old Australian film “Picnic at Hanging Rock.” I haven’t seen it or even new about it before. The similarity in titles is by chance.

Screw that noise! :slight_smile:

Good for you for having a pair though.

Wonderful video of the best scenery in America!!!
(but you could have been a little more truthful in your thread title: “Blowing my nose on the Hanging Rock” :slight_smile: )

'Tis the wind.

Nonetheless got a couple of requests for licensing. One from Dublin, another from LA. Offered $200 for signing the contract +60% of the profit. Albeit after signing the contract I would only have the video for private use. And they can do any editing they wish. So I did not sign.

I agree, $200 isn’t worth signing away your rights to good vacation memories.
But “60% of profits”----that could conceivably turn into big money. Probably not, but you never know. If somebody cuts a 30-second clip from your video and imbeds it in something that goes big , say, with a hundred thousand downloads a $1 apiece …
Not likely to happen, of course, but…

The contract also include the statement that they can add anything they like.

Once I did work for a company and invented some nice thing. After some time I have seen a report to certain industry association. It contained my invention, but was attributed to completely different people. It did not violate my contract with the company since it contained “moral rights” waiver.

So I wonder: may be they are for something like that: make a film that someone else did that. This way they could earn tens of thousands. Since this is where money are, this is what people could pay for.

I love this place. :smiley:

Picnic At Hanging Rock. Forget yer Blair Witch Projects, folks. This is a classic " was it true, was it pure fiction, did it happen? " tales.

Peter Weir at his finest, IMHO.

At least this thread is not locked like the other one.

What’s your next stunt? Feeding bears in Yellowstone?

Bears here:

Glacier Point is truly one of the greatest viewpoints in all of the National Parks. I remember my first time up there, seeing Half Dome edge on, almost like you could reach out and touch it…amazing.

Where else did you go when you were in Yosemite? I drove through on Labor Day week and took this POV video a few miles away (as the crow flies)

I don’t mean this to be snarky, but aren’t signs like “Do Not Enter” to be followed in national parks?

In my top three ever.

I had the same thought. I’ve occasionally violated posted rules, so I am not without sin, but I don’t think I’d post video of myself doing so. :slight_smile:

What about this guy?

Perhaps, because you did not go to such place, which would justify posting a video?

Nope, that’s not it. :slight_smile:

I can’t tell if there’s a Do Not Enter sign nearby.
