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

> [@njtt](#): > > What did you do with those Australian schoolgirls? 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. ---

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. ---

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… ---

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. ---

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](http://youtu.be/7RqLUllIGi0) a few miles away (as the crow flies) ---
