Apparently last nights time lapse broke all sorts of copyright regulations and was taken off Youtube,,,,,, lets try again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm1yUucst3s

Our Western cells, now appear to be rotating away from B`ham and buggering off back West although plenty happening to our East

Cell visibly strengthening to the E of Bham

Strange stationary clouds over Birmingham atm I dont mind waiting till dark for our western cells to eventually turn up

Here's a HD time lapse of yesterdays picturesque clouds over Birmingham excuse the lengh.... but they was convecting throughout the day. And anyway this tunes Not for cropping Cheers Paul M from Leeds for your kind comments http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxRVMnBS000 Edit ; Sounds like `Stairway Denied` Can someone Please confirm if theres a tune attached to this time lapse?

Today's wonderful cloudscapes over Birmingham Lots of convection, anvils and rain curtains throughout the day enjoy...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc3pKJEEYBA

Brilliant day so far,,,,,,,one of the best days for `cloudscapes` in a long time Big fluffy white things convecting into anvils,,,,all against a lovely blue sky. No TL but what the hey .....time lapse heaven

Squall line going over W mids at the moment with some convecting towers forming on its rear flank

A couple of photos. one of a cell just to the W of Birmingham the other one (especially for Jane Louise) from last night What was that about red mackerel at night

Thunder in Birmingham

impressive cell coming into W Birmingham at the moment

5 mins of madness signalled the squall line passing over Birmingham http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZCvr-956WU

A couple to start us off....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWZab06ZnCI & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEh4WjMznvs

Cheers Prof

You may think iv`e posted this in the wrong thread............have a listen to the tune accompanying the time lapse http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWZo_KLkTTw

Friday 13 May 2011 Time Lapse of storms marching up the M5 to the North, on to bigger and better things in thunderstorm land. contains rain and hail shafts, building columbus towers and even a little bit of base rotation accompanied by guess who? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKw5fGb7LEE

a couple of timelapses from my soon to be weather cam which would like to share trying out a few tests with zoom and getting used to a new camera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IZTGfUDaCQ LQ accompanied by Leon Redbone & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWZo_KLkTTw HQ accompanied by The Waterboys Any feed back concerning weather cams or timelapse would be more than welcome

Stick around Aj I`m watching more towers approaching you as we speak

Starting to tower to the West Like the look of the most southerly in the line of 3 It.s building nicely and heading this way

Just some`fingers and a little bit of circulation from Thur 12 May to the N of Birmingham http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9fTZygHMx8 Best in HD

Heres a photo of the clouds above your area showing the feature you mentioned ( excuse the outoffocusness of this images.... but we were off our tits by this time )

Absolutely $##/'?* mental mate Great documentation of a memorable storm and your enthusiasm & passion shine though in these videos And we thought it looked good from 20 odd miles away Taken from Harborne in Birmingham 10.15pm Mother Nature Productions at her best

we`ll what an extended weekend Its really good to see so many were able to witness and record it on a personal note i tried a couple of experiments in my never ending quest for a decent lightening snap This involved a couple of HD filters and a massive memory storage card this combined with taking continual snaps This was my cunning plan to produce a lightning time lapse Apart from a long distance effort captured from Mondays light spectacular, visible from our living room as it trungled up the M5/M6 These were the same storms excellently captured by Aj only viewed from distance Although these experiments didn't work for lightning ( this time ) the method managed to produce a couple of good smooth time lapse The first one, not using the method, catches a little bit of rotation at the start of the time lapse and ends it with massive rotation when a Chinook flew through the scene Best viewed HD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSr43areAVo Next two are my experiments http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TujTjEWev8U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Dvyb72lXWM&feature=related Heres to a good season

Thanks for the replies concerning the welcome return of natures own little storm detectors its good to hear.......

With all this collective sky watching .......Did anyone else see any Swifts?
