Time lapse photographer Michael Shainblum recently created this absolutely stunning video, simply titled "Liberty", from over 15,000 still photographs captured between 2016 and 2018. Set to an epic soundtrack, the short time lapse video is well worth the 3-minute watch!

I vividly remember my first experience of New York City as a kid, before I became a photographer. The shear sense of scale, the incredible architecture and just the over all feeling I got walking around the city. That experience became one of the reasons I got into photography. Ever since then, it has been my dream to recreate that feeling into a short timelapse film. From the sensory overload of standing on a busy New York street corner. To the tranquility of standing on a skyscraper, like being on top of the world. This is a dedication to my favorite city in the world.

Check out Shainblum's project page for more info on the time lapse video.
