Some of the more interesting things observed while watching mother nature are seen when film is sped up. I've taken quite a liking to shooting tripoded video of a supercell or other weather phenomena and speeding the video up afterward, to create a time lapse of the events that seemingly go un-noticed to the naked eye in real time. Below you'll find some of the more interesting events I've captured, and sped up to bring out the finer details.

June 3 2008 - Southwest Illinois Mini-supercell evolution and tornadogenesis On a day with fairly weak wind shear, and outflow boundary left in the wake of a morning bow echo made all the difference. A small storm developed, which we decided to film solely because it was the only thing out there but it quickly put on quite a show for us. It latched on to the stalled outflow boundary, and quickly became supercellular and produced intermittent tornado touchdowns.
May 21 2007 - Glen Ullin, North Dakota Entire life cycle of a tornado A lone supercell winds up and produces a beautiful tornado. This time lapse features the entire life cycle, from wall cloud and RFD clear slot, to the roping out and decaying of the parent mesocyclone.
June 7 2009 - Seneca, Kansas Supercell that fails to produce a tornado On a much hyped day, two supercells put on a show but fail to produce a tornado. This more mild tempered time lapse shows the earlier stages of the northern supercell that eventually died out, giving way to a major hail producer to it's south.
May 25 2009 - Southwest Illinois Supercell in tropical remnants fights surrounding convection Tropical low remnants ventured north up the Mississippi River setting up a zone of strong low level shear in southwest Illinois. I was able to document a beautiful supercell that came close to producing a tornado a couple times near Edwardsville. However as you can see in this video the supercell was continually fighting areas of convection nearby that were ingested constantly, interrupting the progression of potential tornado production. At times, the entire base of the supercell is blocked out by another area of rain being ingested.
