High Sierra Topix

Friday, August 16th, 2024

I spent half the day up off of Jackson Meadows Road, from Hwy 89 North out of Truckee. The video starts with checking out the sunrise at Perazzo Meadows. From there, I stopped to see the morning mist rising from Webber Lake, on the way to Meadow Lake. Before reaching Meadow Lake, I could see Fordyce Lake and Old Man Mountain from a ridgetop on Meadow Lake Rd. On the way back from Meadow Lake, a stop at Lacey Meadows and Webber Lake. Next, some four-wheeling up to Morgan Point, a ridgetop with a nice view of Sierra Valley, then back down to Lake of the Woods.
As always, speakers on...

Here's some stills from the trip. First, sunrise at Perazzo Meadows.




Next, morning mist rising up off of Webber Lake.




Next, a glimpse of Fordyce Lake & Old Man Mountain, as seen from Meadow Lake Rd.

Last stop, Lake of the Woods.

I stabilized my videos last weekend using the Google Photos app. I was able to get rid of the "shaky hands" effect, albeit the scene transitions became a bit wonky; yet only on the transitions where the panning direction switches. So be it; at least from now on, I can stabilize the raw clips before I pull them into my editing app and finalize.
Here's the improved video...
