20k+ Image Timelapse Compilation - China - Chengdu to Jiuzhaiguo Bus Ride


A rough video i put together with a collection of images taken with my contour while travelling through China.
I also had some small segments from a trip down to Denmark (shot with a D700) and another trip down to Bluff Knoll.

Most of the images were from a 20hr+ bus trip to & from Jiuzhaiguo.
