Storm-Time-Lapse

Video by Darwinfish105

If you’re like me, you like staring at the rain (or being in it). And time lapses can capture it quite beautifully. This recent time lapse that we found on Vimeo though is still quite beautiful, but there is one moment that is really scary. Last year in NYC, we had some very frightening storms, and the scene at around 00:38 reminds us of just those moments. Basically, a giant cloud formation covers the entire city and grays it all out.

It probably wasn’t as intense on the ground, but it goes to show that framing is key.

We talked to Camille Seaman, a professional storm chaser and photographer not long ago and also featured a time lapse of a super cell storm in Texas. And this one isn’t as scary, but it still totally gives you the heebie jeebies.

The video is after the jump.
