So many Wow, Whoa look at that!!! and OMG moments all in one video here 😎👍 Love all of it but the Dust Storm @00:30 (and air plane turning and rising above it), rain pouring down (and blowing around) @03:46 and @04:15 , plus that Rainbow growing across the frame @01:36 is SOOO Coool!!!
Awesome. That's a lot of work, Just amazing video, you are indeed the Clever Dark Elve. wow. I'm sitting here stunned, amazed, dumbfounded, breathless,... and then you ask me to articulate ? Let me just watch a few hundred times more, then perhaps. Tenacious effort, we feel your soul in this. I can only imagine the emotion, the discomfort, and anxious moments sitting in the lightening storms, that went into this masterpiece. Clever, Dark Elve, Very clever.
Thank you for your kind words of support and for taking the time to watch! There were plenty of anxious moments indeed. For example when lightning struck within 1/4 mile from where I was standing!
Finding the right place for the sunrise/ sunset and the mix of music was great. The thunder heads rolling in were great. The power of nature is unmatched and you captured them well. Well done!
Wow Linda, Speechless! You're just an amazing Artist. Your videos are always so far beyond what anyone else ever does. I don't know how you can stand to go through those Dust/Sand Storms, they just look bad. This was so great, the Grand Canyon looked so awesome. You just know how to make videos that well, WOW! I love Arizona, Flagstaff in the winter was very hard but it's harder here in Iowa so I'd come again in a heartbeat. Just live down around Phoenix or the Mesa area. I need warm at 56!
Harry, your kind words are appreciated. I'm glad you enjoy what I've created! The dust is rough, but if you want something you gotta be a little off your rocker at times.
Xtremely Awesome...The Faster the Filming the more Dramatic the Time Lapse Efforts!! A Wonderful view of the Desert Southwest through the eyes of an Artist....Congratulations on your new Degree in Meteorology!!
This video is one of your best. The amount of different scenic locations is mind blowing. The way you sped through scene to scene really made the video very interesting. Your timing of the music was also very nice. All and all, Bravo to you.
Incredible! The fast pace and variety of landscape kept it entertaining the whole way through and the music was a nice change of pace from most time-lapses out there. I recognized a few places from my time living in Tucson, so it was also a trip down memory lane. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to seeing more of your time-lapses.
It was hard to pick up the double rainbow, nice sleuthing! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment! Maybe we'll cross paths sometime!
Well timed to the energetic music, amazing compositions and colors. The lightning section just blew me backwards - what a scenery. Great stuff Linda. A master of timelapse. Very inspiring indeed. So many hours spent making these shots. Keep them coming. Happy New year
I am TOTALLY in love with the music,,,,the images....the edition (OMG what a work...!!!!!!!) so amazed, so astonished about what you did in here....AWESOME and I have no words to explain the replesnished I feel myself right now. Perfect landscapes and weather and OMG what a TONNNNN of hpurs and work in here... CONGRATULATIONS..!!!!!!!! you're aamazin (and your dog too) I dont think you're crazy, not at all
That was absolutely Awesome Linda! So glad I was able to meet you at Spin Up this year. I really love the work you do and the effort you put into it. Keep them coming!
Dag Linda, awesome footage, as always. I like!! I recommend to put a warning in the discription, that the video might trigger seizures for those with photosensitive epilepsy.
A lot of the waiting is pretty active, not only do inclement weather conditions like heavy winds require me to hang on to my tripod, I also keep a pretty close eye on changing light conditions and adjust my settings accordingly. Occasionally I get to sit back and relax and at those times I just have a little snack and drink and take in the beauty with my pup.
Glad to see you back CDE, Wow I'm Gobsmacked awesome imagery combined with exhilarating music, and excellent editing, only watched it on my IPad pro 12.9 inch, going to watch it again on 4k tv tomorrow morning, but bet I'll have to go and buy a 65 inch oled HDR to really be immersed, well done CDE 👍
I can only say 1 word about this production and that’s amazing, very well thought out and produced with skill & dedication. Many thanks for sharing & all the very best for 2019. Regards.
Well, Linda, What can I say? Each time you post a new video I think to myself How can it get better than this? Then you post the next one and that answers my question. This time I ask myself, How can it get better than this? I have watched this on all of my devices and the big screen TV. I have sent a link to all of my correspondents. The word that comes to mind most frequently is "Astounding!" and then, I realize that it really leaves me -speechless. Thank you.
Hey, Linda: Just when I think you have reached the pinnacle of your artistic talents -- then you take the production to another level. Talented, talented, talented! Kind regards, T. Phoenix, AZ USA
Linda, you shooting and editing are amazing, this is fantastic!!! My favorite shot is the one with the stars that sneak in @3:10. Does your dog give you the same look as mine, like she must be crazy but I love her anyway?
Thanks for taking the time to watch Karen! You spotted those stars eh? It went by pretty quick in my edit and wasn't sure anyone would notice, you have a keen eye! My dog gives me a lot of looks and I'm convinced most of them are versions of my mom is crazy! Lol. I could make a whole video of pictures I've taken of his looks when I'm shooting!
I came here to tell you I've been missing your contributions, and find that I am behind by 1. So you get a pass. A very short one. 😉 The work you do is stunning, Ms. Elve! I am ever impressed. It must take a hero's effort to pull one of these off - I cannot imagine - so I understand the gap. But know that at least one person will stand up and say, I am addicted to your posts and want to up my dose. No pressure. 😉
Uh Oh! I'm in trouble! Hahah! Thanks for giving me a short pass Dennis! I have been thinking about making a few videos relating the technical or creative effort that goes into what I do. It would help fill the gaps a bit. Would that be something you would be interested in? If so, what would be something you'd like me to discuss? Thanks for watching!
@@cleverdarkelve oh gosh, that's an open ended question! Well, some things that have really stuck with me are: your work with a beach chair (I think it was a beach chair) in Timelapse Basics (you had similar case, same video, with a tripod). The fluid melding of lightning and timelapse in the amazing Noctis (which has about 1% of the views I'd expect) - the scene at 2:01 is a study in itself. That closing scene from 3:11 on... Honestly, I'd like to hear whatever you would like to say about your efforts. But those stood out as noticeable to this pre-novice. Cannot tell you what it means to me that you asked! Let's just say, a lot.
CleverDarkElve 1:36 - where else in video or on earth can you see such a rainbow reveal???? I keep coming back to that... thought I’d finally let you know.
Absolutely fantastic Linda. I have to keep watching this over and over. The lightning sequence is amazing and expertly matched with the music. It makes me want to do more time lapses my self. How do you avoid getting your equipment soaked? This is your best yet!
Thank you Dale, I'm glad you like it so much that you keep watching! As to how I keep my equipment from getting soaked.. I really don't most of the time. I do have a glorified plastic baggy that I sometimes tie around my body and lens, but when it's very windy (and it often is) or when I have to setup very quickly (which I often do) there is no point or time for its use.
Wow! That was absolutely stunning! I subscribed to your channel at the suggestion of a TH-cam friend of mine Ken (wizbang99). I do some time lapse sunsets, but even the best ones are nothing as beautiful as this.
This is an AWESOME video. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into making this and sharing it with the world! May I ask the location that you filmed?
Thanks Jeannie, I'm glad you enjoyed the film! As to a place it was filmed, that is a little harder to describe. It was shot in dozens of locations all throughout the state of Arizona. If you can point out a specific location in the video I may be able to tell you.
@@cleverdarkelve I just wanted to know what country it was in. I didn't know there were monsoons in the U.S. and in Arizona specifically. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Yeah yeah, I know. You're not the only person to have mentioned this. However, I hope you can understand that a video like this takes many months to produce and put together, If I posted more videos the quality would go way down. What sorts of videos besides this would you like to see from me?
Over all amazing well put together. Super Job during some of the darker lighting shots there seem to be dark line 3/4 up on the video that looked like a TV glitching out. Do you know what caused that?
There are no weird lines on my end or on any of the devices I have watched it on. I asked others and they also don't see anything, so I'm not sure what it could be. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment!
I had a video but was unhappy with it so it won't come out for another year after gathering more footage. There is a video I am editing now and should be coming out soon though!
Sorry for the sooooooper late reply James. All lightning was shot without a trigger with shutter times varying between about 1/80s to 5seconds or so in this video.
Good question! For one, it has to do with the total annual rainfall for a given region. Since our annual rainfall is far below the accepted levels for non desert regions that makes us a desert. The majority of our rainfall happens during these monsoon seasons! And even having said that, the entire region isn't necessarily treated to these amounts of rainfall. Many parts of the Southwest remain in severe drought even during the monsoon season. Thanks for watching!
Mesmerizing. Well done as always. Loved the rainbow reveal. Great music, great editing, great video.
I almost didn't use the rainbow clip because I thought maybe it was a boring composition! Thanks for watching!
So many Wow, Whoa look at that!!! and OMG moments all in one video here 😎👍

I'm glad you were wowed by my little film, thank you for taking the time to watch it!
Linda, once again a wonderful, thoughtful, visually exciting production. Congrats!
Thank you for taking the time to watch it Gary!
Love it! Glad to see a post keep them coming. Been missing your work! You show the beauty of all the moods of the desert.
Thanks Journeyman! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Unbelievable! Absolutely fantastic footage. Am so in awe of your work! Simply incredible.
That's quite the compliment, thank you for taking the time to watch!
Beautiful! The shot of the developing double rainbow is incredible. I chase in AZ as well so I know how challenging it can be. Great work!

Had ik aan gedacht maar niemand leest de description dus ik dacht.. laat maar. Ik zal wat aan de description toevoegen. Glad you liked the video!
This is stunning! All these shots are insane! I absolutely love the cactus and that rainbow in the one scene🔥
Glad you liked it!!
The moisture falling at 3:50 made me feel like there was a 45 gallon barrel of water being dumped on me.
The Grand Canyon delivers!
Congratulations on your first 1000 subscribers. Many great scenes in your video. Greetings from Norway
Thank you Ruben! Greeting to you in Norway!
I loved your work. Specially when the thunder strikes started dancing..

For the lightning sequences , are you using a lightning trigger for the shutter or just using long exposure?
Sorry for the sooooooper late reply James. All lightning was shot without a trigger with shutter times varying between about 1/80s to 5seconds or so in this video.
@@cleverdarkelve Not a problem , I so enjoy your work and am studying it not to style my efforts so much as to learn from you.
@@jamesr.9239 Feel free to ask, I will do my best to help if I can!
Why's it called the Mojave DESERT if 3 months a year it pours on a monsoonal scale?
Good question! For one, it has to do with the total annual rainfall for a given region. Since our annual rainfall is far below the accepted levels for non desert regions that makes us a desert. The majority of our rainfall happens during these monsoon seasons! And even having said that, the entire region isn't necessarily treated to these amounts of rainfall.
