Lightning at 1000 FPS

[iacas]

Photographer and filmmaker Dustin Farrell spent the summer chasing lightning with a $110,000 Phantom Flex4K high-speed camera. What resulted was this 4K short film, titled “Transient,” that shows the epic beauty of lightning in 1,000fps slow motion.

"Oh, jeez...could this music be any more over-dramatic, I mean reall...holy crap that's awesome."

I've always loved watching thunderstorms blow up over our area, even since I was a kid. That despite my Dad making us hide in the basement! But, he lived through a tornado in his youth, so I suppose it's understandable.

I was searching for camera with slow motion suggestions, and this was the first link. Nice mishit. 

Absolutely awesome!

The color on some of those shots is ridiculous.

Had to chime back in. Reminds me of something one of the astronauts in One Strange Rock said about observing the Earth from the International Space Station. They remarked that they were impressed with how violent this planet is! They could see lines of thunderstorms marching across the planet, and witness the lightning.
