Storm Sequence

Edmonton’s geographic location exposes it to extreme variations of weather over the annual cycle of seasons, as well as within the 24 hour cycle of a day. While many amateur photographers might try to capture a rainbow or a single flash of lightening, most often the weather is only a backdrop to our photographs of something else.

Weather itself, however, is one of Mr. Bruun’s favorite subjects. Clouds, sun dogs, snow, rain, sunshine and storms form a large body of his collection. And a white-out snowstorm does not mean there is nothing to see outside. With the modern camera’s automatic shutters and digital capture, a photographer can collect a detailed series of images which depict rapid changes and convey motion – even in a cloudburst or snowstorm.
