Dear France - A Travel Video

Video Description:

My love letter to France: "Dear France, You are beautiful."

In the last few months, I had the opportunity to travel around France for 3 - 4 weeks. I started my trip from Lyon and Chamonix, but unfortunately, the footage I took in Lyon and Chamonix (Mont Blanc) is now gone forever because I got my bag stolen in Germany before I managed to back them up. All is not lost though, since all the other parts of my France trip are still intact.

I was able to go hike in one of the caves in Grottes de Choranche in Grenoble, camped on the island of Corsica, marveled at the historic cities of Avignon, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, and Arles, stared in silence at the reflection of Place de la Bourse in Bordeaux, walked in mud around Mont Saint Michel, and explored the City of Light, Paris. The whole trip was nothing short of spectacular. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed traveling there.

Due to the tragedy that happened in Paris on the 13th of November 2015, I dedicated this movie to France and the people living there. Stay strong!

Wondering what camera I am currently using? Here are all the camera gear I usually take with me when I am traveling:

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.
