Photographer Kien Lam has created a stunning global time-lapse video using thousands of his own photographs from a year-long globetrotting journey through 17 countries. The artist used Panasonic Lumix GF-1 to shoot the content during an adventurous trip around the world he took after quitting his job last year.
While time-lapse videos are becoming more readily available, this one in particular covers a lot of ground (and water and sky), spanning 17 countries in 5 continents. Lam’s personal website features a detailed journal to go along with many of the photographs used in this global time-lapse video.
Some of the beautiful destinations featured by Lam include Thailand, Japan, Argentina, Bolivia, Morocco and Peru, making this clip a must-see no matter where you live.
