This Hyperlapse Through Saigon Was Shot Handheld with the DJI Osmo

Time-lapse photographer Rufus Blackwell spent the last 2 months taking the DJI Osmo handheld stabilized camera around Saigon, Vietnam. The 3-minute video above is what resulted.

“Because the camera is so steady, you can create hyperlapse sequences from shooting video, a completely new way of creating a moving timelapse,” Blackwell tells PetaPixel. “This allows you so much latitude in post, you can warp time. This was a highly experimental shoot, I was amazed by the results.”

Blackwell previously won the 2014 Travel Photographer of the Year contest in the video category with a piece about the Kumbh Mela Festival in India and the 100 million people that attend.
