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.

[@guymayer9609]

Well living there and visiting is a very different experience (so I assume, I've never lived there but from what I've seen and would assume it seems different). Tourists see lights and iconic places and broadway and the Empire State Building and Central Park, but when you live there, the touristic aspect of NYC isn't part of your daily life, it becomes an average sight. Nevertheless, there's nothing I want more than to live there when I turn 18

[@user-wt9ix1dm1x]

Why do you think that it's all amazing? Just because of the lights, crowds and nightlife doesn't mean it's a perfect place to live. Bigger city means more crime, more problems, more police etc... Yea, it looks really beautiful and a cool city ,but its not perfect
