Photography & film
The sources and creative work behind our views of Panama.
The journey combines original 4K camera footage of Amador Causeway in Panama City with seven AI-generated destination scenes. Their still images were generated at 3840 × 2160 with GPT Image 2; their motion was generated with Veo 3.1 and enhanced to 4K by the provider, rather than synthesized natively in 4K. These scenes are illustrations, not verified photographs or camera footage of the named places. Four licensed photographs elsewhere on the site have AI-assisted detail reconstruction; their 4K files do not represent native camera-captured detail. Three other licensed photographs retain their original scene details. The original creators, sources, licenses and adaptations are credited below.
