His goal was to photograph the storms of America&#8217;s Great Plains on the largest canvas possible. &#8220;These amazing storms offer us a glimpse of what our world once was, and inspires us to protect and preserve what remains,&#8221; Lisius said. &#8220;The sky over the prairie is huge. I wanted to create a medium large enough to capture and properly present it on.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lisius shot the production utilizing two side by side 50MP Canon DSLRS. Shooting required the use of a custom-made mount to keep the two cameras perfectly aligned, 8,000 miles of travel through six states, and dozens of carefully prepared weather forecasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During post-production, 12,000 images were stitched together to create one 15,985 x 5792 pixel image using a Mac Pro workstation. Each shot required a minimum of 5 days to prepare with the computer working around the clock. To keep the processors from melting, the Mac was cooled by two powerful external fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Directed and photographed by Martin Lisius.<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.prairiepictures.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prairiepictures.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sure, you might say: spending hundreds of dollars on a 4K monitor only to touch it to your expensive work Mac &amp; have the latter apparently fry its circuit board, leaving you to gimp along for an indeterminate amount of time, sounds like a crappy idea&#8211;but hey, this footage sure looks good on it (plugged [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11862"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11862"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11862\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11874,"href":"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11862\/revisions\/11874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
