If you've got four minutes, I'd love to give you a timelapse tour of all of the most visually stunning places California has to offer, filmed over four years, from coastline to mountains to deserts, from cities to agriculture to national parks.nnMy Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/hal9000 | Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pyrokinetic/nFollow me on Instagram: http://instagram.com/halbergman | Twitter: http://twitter.com/pyrokineticnnLicense these clips for your project on Getty Images: bit.ly/gicalif | Dissolve: bit.ly/dicalifnMagic Window Timelapse Screensaver for Macintosh: bit.ly/mwmacnnCalifornia is the most populated state in the United States, and the third largest. It's almost double the size of the United Kingdom and slightly larger than Japan. If it was it's own independent country (as it was briefly for a few weeks in 1846), it would have the 8th largest economy in the world by GDP. It contains the highest summit and the lowest desert in the Contiguous United States (and the second-lowest point in the world), both of which are in the same county. It's most known for movies, technology, wine, and national parks, but also grows more than a third of the vegetables consumed in the US, two-thirds of the fruits and nuts, and an unknown but presumably huge percentage of marijuana. It contains every major climatological biome except tundra. More important than those facts, to me, is that I was born and spent most of my life here.nnThe average clip took 1-3 hours to film and another 3-10 hours to edit. Several cuts are from clips more than 24 hours long. I shot 423 clips over four years to make this, but the majority of the 67 clips ultimately used were shot in the last 12 months.nnThe music is "Intense Rocks" by Sebastian Watzinger, licensed from Audiosocket.nnMost of the individual clips are available for license via Getty Images, Dissolve, or directly. Many of them feature in the Magic Window timelapse screensaver for Mac. Links are now at the top.nn(If you got this far down, thank you! I'd like to add that I'm available for hire. I specialize in still photography and timelapse photography for travel, architecture, and industry.)nnnFull list of locations used:nAlabama HillsnBig SurnBombay BeachnDeath Valley National ParknGilroynInyo National ForestnJennernJoshua TreenLake TahoenLong BeachnLos AngelesnMalibunMono Lake South Tufa ReservenMount ShastanNapanOnyxnOwens LakenSalinasnSan DiegonSan FrancisconSan Luis ObisponSanta MonicanSequoia National ForestnVenicenWeldonnYosemite National Park Less
