A Time-Lapse of Monsoon Storms Over Arizona
Storm chaser and time-lapse photographer Mike Olbinski has been turning his camera lens on the monsoon in Arizona for about 7 years, and this past summer he spent a whopping 48 days chasing storms. After 17,000 miles driven and 105,000 photos captured, Olbinski combined 55,000 of the best shots into the eye-popping time-lapse video above, titled “Monsoon II.”
Gear-wise, Olbsinki was shooting with a Canon 5D Mark II, a Canon 5D Mark II, a Canon 16-35mm, and Rokinon 14mm, 24mm, 35mm, and 85mm lenses. Afterwards, the shots were edited in Lightroom, LR Timelapse, After Effects, and Premiere Pro.
“My hope is that you can see and feel that love in this film,” says Olbinski. “The beauty of the monsoon in Arizona. This is where I’m from and this is home.”
You can find more of Olbinski’s work on his website, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

P.S. Back in 2013, we shared a time-lapse by Olbinski that showed a massive supercell thunderstorm rotating over Texas.
