Undulatus Asperatus Sunset (Mike Olbinsky)

, , , , ,

[…] Undulatus asperatus clouds are a rare phenomenon and actually the newest named cloud type in over 60 years. I’ve seen tons of photos of them, but never anything like what we witnessed last night. We had a storm with hail in front of us and flashing lightning which was fantastic. But then we had this layer of undulatus clouds flowing across our view. Watching them was amazing already, but then the sun slowly appeared from behind some clouds to the west and lit up our storm like nothing we’ve ever seen before. We were like kids in a candy store. Running around, doing our best to capture it from every possible angle. […]

Nox Acatama

, , , , , ,

The Atacama desert is home to the darkest and cleanest skies in the world. A view to the nightsky rewards with uncountable numbers of stars and fantastic nebulas in one of the most quiet a empty places on earth. Not a single noise distracts from the grand show the nightsky has to offer.
The environment is harsh though. Filmed in freezing temperatures, altitudes up to 5000m/16000ft, salt lakes and icy slopes, the Atacama is not friendly to life and equipment. Though it provides without doubt for epic and vast vistas of one of the greatest landscapes on earth.

SANDSTORM ALAMOGORDO

Nested between the site of the first nuclear weapons test and the town of Alamogordo, White Sands is world’s largest gypsium sand dune field. On certain days, strong winds sweep through, moving and shifting the sands. resulting in sands storms such as the one depicted in this video.

Millions of visitors a year come to Arizona’s Grand Canyon National Park, one of the seven natural wonders of the world and the most visited national park in the western United States. However, on extremely rare days when cold air is trapped in the canyon and topped by a layer of warm air, which in combination with moisture and condensation, form the phenomenon referred to as the full cloud inversion. In what resembles something between ocean waves and fast clouds, Grand Canyon is completely obscured by fog, making the visitors feel as if they are walking on clouds.

Monsoon III (4K)

, , , ,

If you asked the average person, many would characterize this summer’s monsoon as a down season. Not a lot of storms overall and it seemed generally more quiet. And in many ways it actually was a slower season. All told I chased about 36 days for this film, which was less than the 48 in 2015. We had an early start in late June, and then it was dead for almost three weeks. When I looked back and realized I chased 12 less days…yeah, it definitely had less action than normal.

But to a storm chaser, none of this really means anything. Sure there were days when nothing was remotely possible to chase, but most of the time the monsoon can be found in the far corners of the state even when Phoenix and Tucson are dry as a bone. […]

Lozzo di Cadore: time lapse estemporanei ripresi nel 2016 ‘ntorno ciasa’

, , ,

Raccolta di time lapse ripresi nel corso del 2016 con telefono LG-G5; parecchie scene “saltellano” perché il telefono era tenuto in sede sul treppiede da un “coso” improvvisato che tuttora lo adorna.

Le riprese effettuate utilizzando lo zoom, cioè buona parte di quelle proposte, pagano uno scotto in termini di qualità; del resto a me interessava sperimentare la diavoleria. Alla ripresa la risoluzione era di 1920×1080 pixel (full HD), questo video ha il formato 1280×720 px.

Ogni scena corrisponde a un tempo reale mediamente tra i 15 e i 20 minuti.

Monsoon II (4K)

, , , ,

I’ve been chasing the monsoon in Arizona for about 6-7 years now. This summer was different though. Back in late July, I was wondering why it felt like I was out chasing more than ever before. And then I remembered. I had a job last summer. This year I didn’t. I went full-time photography in November of 2014 and haven’t looked back.

I was free to roam and had virtually no limitations. I even had multiple chases where I never actually wend to bed, but instead chased all night. I took the kids to New Mexico at one point early in the season.[…]
