Inspiring! Awesome! I've watched it a half dozen times an still see something new each time. I can hardly wait for next years Monsoon. Your work makes me realize how lazy I have become. I have to watch it again.
I know how much you dislike it because of the animals, luckily this year was a bit of dud compared to the usual! Thanks for your kind compliment Candace!
I can see the Weather Channel or Hollywood using some of this excellent video! The ending was great, also. Really enjoyable, Linda. Thanks for all your time and trouble.
I'm just trying to keep up with the big girls! Some of the storm chasers are out much longer, I don't know how they muster it or afford it! Travelling gets pricey! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
We always want what we don't experience frequently ourselves right? I'd trade with you for a spell! Having said that I am thankful for the displays I'm privy to here in the desert! Thanks for your feedback as well!
The commitment to create every day and have passion is what matters. The rest will follow. I know you were looking for more... I was blown away as were many on this channel. Nice job. F-Bombs are therapy in the creative moment, let them fly! -- Chad
That's awesome! You could easily do a tips a tricks segment with your photography skills. Night views are so cool! Most of us have to deal with some form of light pollution.
Yeah, it's hard to get away! I'm working on something like a tips and tricks segment but am trying to figure out the best way to go about it. If you have specific questions or suggestions about what you would like included I'm all ears.
Hiya from the UK, Nice work and a good choice of music too. How do you avoid dust and rain covering the lens in some of these sequences?You have inspired me to go and have a go,
Hello back to you in the UK! Glad you enjoyed the video! To answer your question: Depending on the severity of the weather I.. 1. Leave it to take a beating, especially during lightning storms if the storm is headed in my direction. 2. I cover it with a glorified clear plastic bag. 3. Cover it with said bag and stand over it with an umbrella while wiping down the lens after each individual photo! I once did that for 2 hours straight. If you go back and look at my first Monsoon video on my Channel there is a segment where a torrential downpour travels through the mountains. You can see the rocks in the foreground getting completely soaked. I was drenched from head to toe wiping down the lens after each shot! That was a chilly ride home! Having said that, there is no way you photograph timelapses outdoors anywhere and expect to keep your camera or it's sensor clean. If that's what you want you're going to be very frustrated! The sooner you come to terms with that the better I've found. Look closely enough at any number of my timelapses and there is always some rude piece of dirt that made it's home on my sensor. Cheers to you!
G/day Linda. Greetings from Oz (again). I have now had the opportunity to look back at your other videos and this is obviously no fluke. I have pointed your work out to my son Steve who is a photography “expert” and he is enamoured with your work and now we both look forward to your next video. Congratulations. P.S. The Arizona country is strikingly similar to the Australian outback.🇦🇺
What a fantastically generous compliment! I read it first thing this morning and let me tell you what a great start to a day! Thanks go to you both for your support and kind words!
It's an online course.. Here is the Link: erau.pr-optout.com/Tracking.aspx?Data=HHL%3d8%2f%3c6%3a%26JDG%3c%3b4%3b-51A%26SDG%3c90%3a.&RE=MC&RI=5114914&Preview=False&DistributionActionID=20550&Action=Follow+Link
By the way thank you so much Linda I love your channel by the way. I also very happy that you endorsed hit film express. I really don’t have the money for final cut or Adobe Premier but I’ve been trying to decide between da Vinci and hit film and it seems like it film is easier to learn. Am I on the right track here? By the way I was that guy that built the strobe light for the back of my drone. If you give me your email address i’ll send you the schematics. Thanks again for your recommendations in I look forward to seeing you next Thursday. Zane.
Thanks for enjoying my videos! Hit Film express is a great piece of software in my opinion! DaVinci Resolve is as well, I just don't have personal experience with it like I do with Hit Film. My email is linda@cleverdarkelve.com
Hey Caleb, thanks for stopping by! I often use a plastic bag to protect my gear. At other times I stand over it with an umbrella or even just leave it.. It can withstand a bit of weather since the camera is sealed.
I just came from Kens channel, you guys were talking about the lighting strike pic. Anyway, this was the 1st post I've watched of yours and it was impressive. Well done indeed. Subscribed. Happy Holidays.
Actually a lovely work of art and thenks for sharing those beauties... I am a beginner into the time lapses too but I see a lot of work in here... LR Time Lapse and Lightroom involved... isn´t it? Well... lovely work of art and perfect with the music you choose buddy... just one curiosity... when you´re doing the time lapses (themselves, not in the editicon...) what you use to do in the meanwhile...for me is a very boooooooooooring time to wait but, of course nothing to do with that... isn´t it? ; ) ... thanks for your answer and hartelijk gefeliciteerd...!!!!
Thanks for your comment Publi! A lot of times I have to keep a close eye on one or two cameras shooting at the same time, especially if I have to adjust exposure settings due to changing light conditions (like during a sunset). In that case I am constantly watching the settings and though that can be boring it is necessary for a good result! Other times, like shooting during the middle of the day I will play a game on my iPad or simply relax and read a book. A lot of times though, I simply enjoy sitting in nature or looking for animals! As far as software you are correct that I use Lightroom and LRTimelapse to help put together some of the timelapses, especially those with changing light conditions! Hope this answer helped you to some extent! Cheers to you!
Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer my question, really is not easy to find those beauties and wonderful work of art in the Internet and more than that get the right information about what sometimes you can "suppose" which is this is a LOT of work involved. Yes, so amazingly beautiful and sincerely thanks for that kind answer. Take care and keep doing those AWESOME works...!!! : ) (not the one with the sand storm and the dron again pleasssse......) proost...!!!
@@cleverdarkelve I also really like creating time lapse videos of clouds however I haven't made anything quite as good as either of you have yet, I did catch an ef3 tornado a few years back but only 100 frames or so
As it how do you got about recording the time lapse ? Do you you film them and then speed them up in post or do you set your camera to take lots of photos and then stitch them together ?
Love it ! Next time you're in the neighborhood say "Hey" and we'll have coffee!...... At the end of video comment "RIP" Says You have a good sense of humor... Q: Was the loss due to weather or passerby? Either way Nice Video............
My sense of humor is pretty dry and sarcastic a lot of times, but hey.. as long as I'm laughing right?! You'll have to let me know what hood you're in so I know! To answer your question, the camera and lens were destroyed when a microburst hit my location while I was shooting. There is a video on my channel called 24 hrs that explains it if you are interested! Thanks again for watching!
HOOD? Funny its the country side or as we define it in AZ "Desert side" You know one wash over and up by the Three arm cactus! LOL . Superstitions Mountains we see out our front room windows and our back yard is the Goldfield Mountains. Not kidding we walk out of the back yard and we're in Tonto National Forest .. Cross streets....> N Ironwood Dr, & W McDowell Blvd This is where I Fly my Hubsan H501S . Dry sense of humor At least you have one Right!.... My family says my humor is dry sure that's just a way of saying they don't have a sense of humor and blaming me!... Sorry one of those nights Can't sleep and Bored... So if your going to be in the area Let me know I'll buy first cup coffee.. ha ha
I think you saw my comment, but I'll paste it here in case someone else is wondering: Hello everyone!! NEWS FLASH!! Ken was rear ended by a truck (not an 18 wheeler) and has a broken back, 2 fractures in his neck, 2 broken ribs, fluid in his lungs and a concussion. He can't remember much from the accident. His dog, Henry, was with him and he is ok and on his way to a friend's house. His phone is lost and his car is absolutely destroyed. He was airlifted to a local hospital where he is receiving care. I was going to post a video on Ken's behalf but since he has 2 factor authentication we weren't able to do it in time. Ken wants everyone to know he is coming back the channel maybe in as early as a few days, but I'm telling him to focus on his health right now. Your kind words, patience and support are appreciated and he is super bummed about not being able to do a show this week!
Am I third?
Excellent work Linda!!
Third? That's unusual, guess you better step up your game! Thanks Kenster!
Love you Ken your Chanel is amazing from Australia Melbourne
Metric ton of F-Bombs!!! Haaa!!

So glad you dig it! I've been chasing storms again and will be producing the next installment soon!

Dean Miller Let me know if you need some tips it's not as hard as you think!
SouthWest Desert Delite....Awesome!!
Ha, thanks!!
Inspiring! Awesome! I've watched it a half dozen times an still see something new each time. I can hardly wait for next years Monsoon. Your work makes me realize how lazy I have become. I have to watch it again.
Wow, such a great compliment! Don't feel bad.. I'm lazy a lot myself.. but you don't see videos about that! Ha!
Great job Linda! Your shots are a fantastic example of our monsoon season.
Thanks Bryan, I'm hoping next year won't disappoint!
This is SO good!!! Those star trails 😲🤩
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Having watched all of your videos, this one really stands out and the bar was already quite high. Beautifully produced.
What a kind compliment, thank you Gary!
Beautiful, Linda, you're really getting around. Not a personal fan of the monsoon season but I do enjoy experiencing it this way.
I know how much you dislike it because of the animals, luckily this year was a bit of dud compared to the usual! Thanks for your kind compliment Candace!
I can see the Weather Channel or Hollywood using some of this excellent video! The ending was great, also. Really enjoyable, Linda. Thanks for all your time and trouble.
Jackpast, you flatter me! Thanks!

Robert Patton Thank you so much for the compliment!!
one can learn a lot from watching some of your videos, a lot of time and work went into this one! very nice job.
Thank you!!
Beautiful Linda. My first look at your channel. Now I have to catch up.
Thanks for having a look! Hoping to make more great videos for you to enjoy!
Great work, Linda. You really nailed the essence of it. Beautiful colors. Gotta investigate doing timelapses with my P4.
Thanks for the nice compliment! Doing timelapses with the drone is cool albeit a bit of a pain.
Once again excellent work Linda only wish we had that weather here in UK - would have had wording at end at little slower - great choice of music 👍
We always want what we don't experience frequently ourselves right? I'd trade with you for a spell! Having said that I am thankful for the displays I'm privy to here in the desert!
Thanks for your feedback as well!
Excellent video. I know what losing a camera is like, the Cape Fear River has my Nikon!
Thank you! Seems like the Cape Fear has no manners!
This video is unbelievable I like it so much it has me glued to my seat Thanks for sharing
You're too kind Rick, glad you enjoyed it!

Hey Linda, I'm from Ken's channel. I just wanted to ask, how do you protect your gear and cameras from the water and dust?
Hey Caleb, thanks for stopping by! I often use a plastic bag to protect my gear. At other times I stand over it with an umbrella or even just leave it.. It can withstand a bit of weather since the camera is sealed.
Thx for getting back to me!!
Happy Birthday! Halfway through your videos. So jealous of the hummingbird video. ;-)
Journeyman Thanks for the birthday wishes! I have lots of bird videos I just don't tend to post them!

Happy Birthday!
Aldi More Thanks!!!
lovely :) What method do you use to capture your time lapses ?
Not sure I understand what you are asking, could you be more specific?
As it how do you got about recording the time lapse ? Do you you film them and then speed them up in post or do you set your camera to take lots of photos and then stitch them together ?
The time lapses consist of still photos put together afterwards. Let me know if you have any other questions!
