Adventure in Jordan - A Travel Video

In May, after an awesome trip in Egypt, I continued my way up north to the country, Jordan. I decided to leave my trip in Jordan open and unplanned, and boy, was it worth it.

The first moment I arrived in Jordan, I met Moni, a fellow traveler from Lebanon, and we decided to tackle Jordan together, from Amman, Jerash, to Petra, Wadi Rum, Aqaba, and at the end, we went camping in Sharhabil Bin Hassneh EcoPark. While camping, we weren't able to find anything to do, so we decided to help the locals build fences around the park. This video is a showcase of our trip, and hopefully, I can transfer the energy we experienced in the country.

For the editing of the video, I decided to experiment with a few editing techniques to make the video transition better. Usually, my videos are always grouped and structured. For this video, I decided to play around a bit more with the footage, using zoom, cut, and blur animations. It's not perfect, but hopefully, it creates enough variety that you won't get bored after a few minutes. :)

Enjoy!

Camera Gear: My extremely lightweight camera gear

Camera: Sony a7R V, the highest resolution full-frame camera out there, is my go-to camera when I travel. All of my recent photos and videos are all from this beast.
All-Around Travel Lens: Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II lens is the lens I mounted on my camera the most. The lens covers most of the ranges I need for travel from wide to telephoto. If I have to take only one lens with me on my travel, it would be this lens.
Ultra-Wide Lens: Sony 16-35mm F2.8 GM II Lnes: An ultra-wide lens I often use to shoot expansive landscapes and capture massive architecture I stumble upon while traveling.
Telephoto Lens: Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM II lens is one of the most versatile lenses to have. It is great for picking out details in landscapes and capturing wildlife when combined with the Sony FE 2x teleconverter.
Portrait Lens: Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG DN Lens is the most compact and lightweight 85mm F1.4 lens out there. It's sharp and produces stunning bokeh for subject separation, perfect for portraits and street photography.
Drone: DJI Mavic Mini 2, a perfect drone for those who travel light. It weighs less than 250g and smaller than an iPhone when folded and can capture 4K video as well as 12 megapixels RAW photos. More than enough for its size.
Bag: Langly Alpha Globetrotter is a camera bag I use to carry all these lenses as well as other essentials when I'm traveling.
