Dubai: It took 15,000 pictures taken in roughly 100 hours and a 2,500-km drive around the seven emirates to complete the ‘7 Emirates in 7 minutes' multimedia presentation that captured the UAE's picturesque landscape, bustling cityscape, people and heritage in celebration of 40th National Day.
Gulf News photographer Oliver Clarke spent 12 days in his car, in a tent, and literally under the sun and stars to produce a seven-minute photo timelapse intercut with videos to "give a whistle-stop tour of the things that can be seen in the seven emirates".
"It was incredibly tiring and enormously challenging to keep the cameras working ‘cause there were areas where there's no power. The constant struggle was to keep the batteries charged," he said.
