If you’ve ever tried to snap a photo of a sunset, you’re probably familiar with just how difficult it is to get that perfect shot. Many will agree that there’s roughly a one-minute window in which the lighting is optimal for your shot. Now imagine trying to shoot a sunset in each of the Earth’s 24 time zones all in the course of 24 hours.

Such a feat had never been attempted until photographer Simon Roberts recently pulled it off. Chasing Horizons, as the project is called, is an incredible accomplishment that required an immense amount of planning. It’s an inspiring clip that'll resonate with those into photography regardless of the fact that it’s also a lengthy advertisement for a watch brand.

As I commented on YouTube earlier, this the kind of video is to be uploaded in 4K. The pathetic 720P just kills the experience.
 
Forget the numbers, A 10K lens, and 10K body but a damped, icy external window which screws every photo...
