The Queen Margaret University lecturer has released a new film today and this time it is all about the Old Town of Edinburgh.
There is his trademark time lapse footage, some drone footage and lovely shots of the Christmas markets and the Big Wheel from high up on The Mound.

Commenting on the new film, QMU’s Walid Salhab, said: “Anyone who knows me, knows I am in love with Scotland’s capital. Many different areas of Edinburgh including the Royal Mile, Portobello and Arthur’s Seat have taken centre stage in my films. I adore the architecture of the Royal Mile and urge everyone to thoroughly explore all of backstreets and the monuments surrounding the area. There is just so much to see and learn.”
‘My Old Town’ has provided Walid with the opportunity to experiment with some new filming techniques and blend these with stop-motion/time-lapse and normal filming practice. The normal shots were done using the DJI Zenmuse X5R in raw, the rest were stop-motion photography and time-lapse. He also used the Kessler Pocket Dolly, the 500 series motor and the Oracle controller.
Walid concluded: “I hope this film does justice to some of the striking buildings in the Old Town, makes us thankful for the beauty that many of us, as residents, have on our doorstep, and encourages visitors to explore our magnificent capital city. This is my Christmas present to the city. I hope you all enjoy it.”
