After four years of searching, Mike Olbinski finally got to capture the storm he had been hoping for.

The thunderstorm, known as a supercell because of its rotating updraft, was the answer to Olbinski’s prayers. In Booker, Texas on 3 June 2013, the photographer and his friend Andy Hoeland were able to capture the powerful supercell.

Olbinski:

I’ve been visiting the Central Plains since 2010. Usually it’s just for a day, or three, or two… but it took until the fourth attempt to actually find what I’d been looking for. And boy did we find it.

 ..there was no tornado. But that’s not really what I was after. I’m from Arizona. We don’t get structure like this. Clouds that rotate and look like alien spacecraft hanging over the Earth

Below you can view the extraordinary time-lapse footage he took with his Canon 5D Mark II and a Rokinon 14mm 2.8 lens.
