This Is The Most Amazing Video,

I have ever seen,



featuring lightning, photographer Dustin Farrell spent the summer of 2017 chasing storms while toting a 4K camera rig that takes 1000 frames per second of raw, uncompressed footage, (For comparison: most movies are shot at 24 frames per second.) after driving 20,000 miles over a 30-day period, he had recorded 10 terabytes of data, which he then whittled down to 3:18 of spectacular video, what enabled his success was not just the ultrafast frame rate of modern cameras, but also the recording technology in which a camera constantly records, writes to RAM, then overwrites, and overwrites again, until a button is pressed to save the RAM contents, with some advice from blogger Fletcher DeLancey, who created Oregon Expat, "Stop what you’re doing and watch this video. But watch it the right way: full screen, in a darkened room, and with a good sound system turned up." you can see the full sized version here, and my advice? grab a coffee and enjoy, I know I did!
