Storm Clouds Look Even More Terrifying in Black and White

I love when photographer Mike Olbinski chases storms because his (always) stunning time lapses always remind me that the city I shelter myself in isn’t what the world is supposed to look like. The sky is a breathing beast that I’m blind to.

Olbinski’s latest video, which comes from a mix of monsoon and supercell plains chasing, is done up in black and white and it’s tremendous. By stripping the color from the footage, you’re able to notice more of the texture of the clouds and the movement of the storm which means you’re able to see the sheer power (and get even more scared of Mother Nature).
