FRACTAL || 4k StormLapse

"The more extreme the imbalance, the more extreme the storm." 

 Though terrifying up close, thunderstorms are positively intriguing and beautiful when viewed from a safe distance, something Kansas-based photographer Chad Cowan knows all too well.

 Over the last six years, Cowan has been gathering timelapse footage of supercell thunderstorms all over the Great Plains, traveling over 1,600,000 Kilometres capturing tens of thousands of images to create FRACTAL, a 3 1/2-minute "StormLapse" that gives us a front row seat at "nature's attempt to correct an extreme imbalance."

 Is the weather a little too fair where you are? Seas too still, air too calm? Immerse yourself in magnificent atmospheric turbulence — billowing clouds, dancing bolts of lightning — with these expertly captured 4k time-lapse clips of stormy skies.
