Armenia, once a troubled country, now stands independently and proudly for more than one hundred years.
In July - Aug 2015, I took a minibus from Tbilisi to Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia. With its creative scene and super friendly people, I fell in love with the city in no time.
For this video, I tried a little experiment by starting with much darker intro footage mixed with my usual inspirational stuff. The reason behind this is to highlight the dark history of the country before showing how it has developed over the years.
Let me know what you guys think!
Camera Gear: My extremely lightweight camera gear
Music: José González - Stay Alive, 2001 Space Odyssey - Monolith on the Moon
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.
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.Want to create a travel video of your own?
