Abraj: The two towers of Dubai from Philip Bloom on Vimeo.
Abraj: Plural of Burj which is Arabic for Tower.
Timelapse video featuring the two iconic towers of Dubai. The Burj Al Arab and the world’s tallest building. The Burj Khalifa.
Commisioned to shoot various timelapses of the Emirate by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai. This is an edit I put together for myself of some of my favourite shots. Including some amazing views from 154 floors up on the Burj Khalifa.

Wonderful piece of cinematography. Awesome example of the depth and capabilities of HDSLR. The music is also a great choice to enhance the imagery.
