A nice thunderstorm passed by the other night and I brought the camera out for some quick shots. I'm not sure why they came out purple but they look cool
My camera (Canon SX40HS) has a setting called Miniature Effect. It's kind of like a time lapse video but it blurs the top and bottom (or left and right) of the video to make it look out of focus. Below are some clouds at 5x speed.
At the end of this one there's a helicopter that flies into view.
