See Lanka - Sri Lanka Travel Video

I spent 2 weeks in Sri Lanka, starting from Colombo, Habarana, Kandy, Ella, Udawalawe National Park, Tangalle, and ending in Mirissa. In those 2 weeks, I experienced so many things, from going on an elephant safari to witnessing the world's largest animal, the blue whale, off the coast of Mirissa. Sri Lanka was never on my list of places I wanted to visit, but I decided to give it a go and went there anyway. The country turned out to be among the best countries I've been to. The wildlife there is unbelievable, the beaches are mostly untouched, Sigiriya is definitely worth a hike, and best of all, the people were extremely friendly toward travelers. If you want to go off the beaten track, then Sri Lanka is a must for you.

For this video, I decided to play around a little bit more with transitions and time remapping, and the result turned out pretty good in my opinion. I also tried my first handheld hyper-lapse shot, and I'm loving the result, so you will be seeing more of this technique used in my future travel videos. :) Let me know what you guys think about the technique used, or feel free to ask me any questions in the comments! Enjoy!

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.
