At the start of this year, I made a short visit to my family in Ankara, Turkey. While having some time with them, I had chances on shooting time lapse footage whenever possible. It was cold, snowy, windy and cloudy. The clouds were spectacular that I had no chance but to photograph them. I was looking from every window of the house to see if there was any special sky that time and when I saw it I placed my tripod, set up the camera and shoot it. I also had walks to the close area in search of good photographs. There weren't so many special views but sky was generally so exciting that I had lots of clouds time lapses. Being with my notebook, I was not able to edit these footage fast enough so I just copied the frames to a disk and postponed editing until I got back to my home and my powerful desktop computer. In fact, I was thinking that I didn't have very nice footage but when I edited the frames and saw the final footage, I was surprised with the outcome, I really loved what happens with clouds here. Scenes were simple but clouds made their play and their movements were really enjoyable. And there were enough footage to make a short video. Only thing that was negative is the sensor dust on my camera. It was hard times for the machine before shooting these and I didn't have the chance to have it cleaned. And so when I shot with high apertures, sensor dust became "very" visible which makes me very sad. But no big problem, I like the final product with those dust :) All of these were shot on my visit to my family so I decided to dedicate this film to my beloved family! Shot on several days in 2 weeks. 10-22, 24-105 and 70-200 lenses were used. Edited in Lightroom, After Effects and Premiere.
