CLIMATE - 'Revolutionary' Climate a Nobel Prize

The Inventors of a Revolutionary Climate SOLUTION just won a Nobel Prize.
The study and popular perception of Professors Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura will share the Nobel Prize for their invention of the blue light-emitting Diode (LED) - a technology now used to light up smartphones and computer screens, purify polluted water and bring cost-effective, efficient white light to people all over the world.

EARTH - Monsoon - a time lapse film
WOW! Watch this remarkable time-lapse of our Arizona lightning storms
All summer long when I'm chasing storms, I'm also time-lapsing. There are over 45,000 frames in this film. I drove over 14,000 miles across Arizona. This takes work, time and patience. I used two Canon 5D Mark III's along with a Rokinon 14mm 2.8 and Canon L lenses, like the 17-40mm, 16-35mm, 50mm, 35mm and even the 135mm.
