我的一生都在追逐风暴 Chasing storms is my entire life.
这是地球上最美的景色之一 It’s one of the most beautiful things in the world.
麦克 奥宾斯基是一名摄影师以及风暴猎人 Mike Olbinski is a photographer and storm chaser,
从小他就迷上了 and has been hooked on extreme weather
极端天气现象 since he was a child.
当我开始接触摄影时 When I started kind of getting into photography,
才发现有人在追逐风暴 I realised people were chasing storms
在那之前 我都不知道有人会这样做 and I had no idea that people did that.
我意识到 不必等着 I realised I don’t have to wait
风暴来到我家门口 for a storm to come to my house,
我可以主动去找 I can actually go after it and
增加拍照的机会 improve my chances of photos
一切就是从那里开始的 and it really just took off from there.
今年我的目标是 制作一部延时电影 This year my role was to make a time-lapse film
名字叫做"追逐" that was going to be called the chase.
我真的很想拍出最好的作品 I really wanted to do the best job I could
所以我清楚自己必须 so I knew I had to spend as much time
抓住所有待在户外的机会 out at the plains as I could.
去年我在外面呆了七天 Last year I was out there for a total of seven days
今年是14天 and this year it was fourteen.
要想抓拍到 我想要的镜头 To get the footage that I wanted to get,
就必须得去追逐 I knew you got to be out there.
今年我们抓拍到的镜头 简直不可思议 The footage we got this year was incredible.
有那么多神奇的时刻 There were so many amazing moments.
第一个是在加拿大德州 The first one was in Canadian Texas.
非常美丽的风暴卷 就那么形成了 It was beautiful, supercell just kind of formed.
我们从一开始就关注着它 看着它形成 We were on it from the beginning, we saw it go up,
我们靠近它然后等待 突然就开始了旋转 we got near it, we waited and all of a sudden it just started rotating.
一开始那么小的一个漏斗状风暴卷 This little needle funnel just starts coming down
开始一步步攀升 and you can just
我们目睹了它旋转的全部过程 see the whole cloud rotating.
能在延时影片中加入这一幕 我真是太开心了 I couldn’t be happier to get something like that on time-lapse.
另外一个镜头是在 One of the other ones which was
德州西部靠近新墨西哥州 in western Texas near New Mexico,
我们正追着风暴跑 太阳正在落下 and as we’re racing towards it the sun is going down.
然后开始下雨 And there’s all this line of rain
太阳为风暴和雨水打了背光 so the sun had backlit the storm and all the rain
我们终于靠近了风暴 and we finally get close to the storm
是个非常美丽的风暴卷 and it’s a beautiful supercell
美得不可思议的紫色橙色 还有闪电 with crazy purples and orange and lightning.
这一刻感觉如此不真丝 It was one of those surreal moments
因为你清楚第二天再来这里 where you know if you came back the next day
这就是平淡无奇的农场 it would just look like a boring farm field.
但在那一刻 就像是来到了外星球 But at that moment it felt like we were on another planet.
那一刻太神奇了 It was an amazing moment and
那是我今年夏天拍到的 最棒的镜头之一 it was one of my favourite clips from this summer.
危险有很多 毕竟有龙卷风 There are a lot of dangers, I mean there’s tornados,
风力特别大 there’s really strong winds.
还有大块冰雹 能把车都砸坏 There’s huge hail that can damage your car.
如果在外面被网球大小的 If you’re standing outside and you get hit
冰雹砸到了头部 on the head with a tennis ball sized hailstone,
真的会受伤的 I mean that can mess you up.
所以我们才做研究 学习并联系 That’s why we study, we learn and we practise
提前做好防措施 并观察雷达 and we take precautions and watch radar
设计好去公路的逃跑线路 and know where we are for escape routes.
总是注意着我们的周围 And constantly be aware of our surroundings
以便避免掉危险 so we avoid that kind of stuff.
做风暴猎人最棒的一点 The best part about being a storm chaser
是那种彻底的自由感 is this utter freedom that you have.
发现一个暴风 去追逐它 You find a storm, you chase it,
看到如此美丽的景色 you see such a beautiful amazing thing.
平原上形成的巨大暴风卷 A huge supercell over the plains with crazy structure
有闪电或者龙卷风 and lightning striking or a tornado
就在你不远处徘徊 that’s just hovering out in the distance.
看到如此美丽 You’re almost uforet
震撼人心的暴风 会让你忘掉一切 when you see a storm that blows your mind.
