Epic NEW YORK City Timelapse & Hyperlapse in 4K Ultra HD

New York City Timelapse in 4K Ultra HD

I vividly remember my first experience of New York City as a kid, before I became a photographer. The sheer sense of scale, the incredible architecture and just the overall feeling I got walking around the city. That experience became one of the reasons I got into photography. Ever since then, it has been my dream to recreate that feeling into a short timelapse film. From the sensory overload of standing on a busy New York street corner. To the tranquility of standing on a skyscraper, like being on top of the world. This is a dedication to my favorite city in the world.

"Liberty" Is a visual journey through New York City captured through timelapse and hyperlapse photography. The video consists of about 15,000 still photographs captured from 2016-2018.

Hello Michael.
First of all I apologize for speaking English very badly.
Honestly, I love the Time Lapse. The shots of New York City are impressive. The change of light. When the city gets dark and the buildings are lit, Spectacular!
The statue of freedom with the sun hiding, wonderful.
A million thanks for giving us some incredible images.
Greetings from the island of Gran Canaria, Spain.
