Wow! Amazing that he found Joshua Trees in Yosemite!
No doubt, an impressive set. And yet, and yet ... having seen a number of these stunning time-lapse sets, the stun is wearing off for me. Video needs a storyline IMO, and I find that lacking in most of the time-lapse I've seen. Time-lapse sequences that do have a storyline, OTOH, feel gimmicky. This kind of work definitely has a place -- can work very well as part of a nature documentary, for example. And I'll admit, I've been wanting to try it myself, so this is good food for thought.
