Everything Time-lapse
I love time-lapsing storms. It’s just what I’m passionate about. It’s not an easy endeavor. From preparing, capturing, chasing and then editing and making a film, it’s a grueling, oftentimes frustrating adventure. But also so incredibly fulfilling. This course will explain all of it and teach you how to do it safely and at a high level.
