Around the world in 2000 pictures

We’ve already had our trip around the world with the striking photoart of Corinne Vionnet and maybe some of you heard of “Le Flâneur”, a stunning video of Paris created by combining 2,000 photos of the city of love by night. And now, within my arm-chair wanderlust last night, I came across “Around the world in 2000 pictures”, a photo journey through 8 cities. Photographer and video artist Alex Profit provides us with a walk through Paris, Barcelona, Tokyo, St. Petersburg, London, Berlin, Shanghai and New York (which isn’t a real world trip as all of you Travelettes will know, but we’ll leave that aside…).

Especially the segues between cities are really well done and the fact that there are absolutely no people on the photographs leaves me with a slight imagination of how much effort he must have put into the postproduction, as I know shooting in busy Barcelona very well. Have a look at the video below, but beware: It will curse you with incontrollable itchy feet of visiting one of the cities, as it happened with me feeling a bad urge to hop on a plane to my beloved BCN.

But anyway, enjoy!

From the 17 islands that make up the city of Venice to the beautiful Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily, Italy’s islands are as diverse in landscape, culture and climate as the nation’s mainland. Whether in search of Italy’s rich past or on the hunt for a beach with powder-soft sand and clear water, Italian islands have something special to offer every visitor looking for a taste of la dolce vita. The smallest of the three most popular islands in the Bay of Naples, Procida doesn’t have the same number of attractions as Capri and Ishia, but it’s also far less crowded than its larger neighbors. It’s the ideal destination for those seeking a laid-back seaside vacation. Towns like the main port Marina Grande and Chiaiolella have basic accommodations, restaurants serve simple meals of fresh

The Best Camera Bags For Travel – 2020 Update

Image
For us, our number one priority is to keep our gear safe and protected. We are full-time travel content creators and have found ourselves relying on our camera bags for everything. A dry place, a place to keep some snacks, a place to hold all of our gear or even a place to launch the drone from. Updated November 15th, 2019 The past two years have been rough trying everything from the cheapest camera bags possible (not recommended) to the middle of the line bags and finally now what we think is the best bag on the market. All of the bags we have used have all been 20 liters or larger. Necessarily big enough to carry a 15 inch MacBook Pro, DJI Mavic drone, DSLR or Mirrorless camera and even some lenses. Because we live out of a suitcase and two camera bags, we had to really search for the right ones. One a little smaller than the other but big enough to fit everything we have. These are the three bags we have found that is not only capable of handling our rugged lifes
