Nightvision is probably the most inspirational time-lapse. Ever.
It was created by Luke Shepard who spent three months travelling around Europe with a friend – 36 cities in 21 countries. Shepard’s ambition was to photograph the continent’s most impressive landmarks in a unique way, capturing “the brilliance and diversity of architecture found across Europe”.
The 3.37 minute video is composed of thousands of photographs, edited seamlessly and accompanied by Outro by M83.
On the list are Brandenburg Gate in Berlin; Atomium in Brussels; the Palace of Westminster, The Shard and Tower Bridge; Sagrada Família in Barcelona, the Colosseum in Rome and Under Krystallen in Copenhagen among many, many others.
