當烏云密布,狂風怒號時,大多數人的自然反應都是尋找掩體。但有的人卻選擇“逆行”,當追風的人。這樣的追風者少之又少,而攝影師劉屹靖就是其中之一,他要做的就是捕捉并描繪大自然憤怒的一面。

在過去的一年里,21歲的劉屹靖跨越了中國11個省市,跑了24000公里,只為追逐和記錄風暴。根據最初的跡象——當一陣稍強的微風演變成大風、天空開始變得洶涌、鳥兒四散飛走——他便為追風這項看上去十分艱巨的任務做好準備。2021年,他拍攝了48000多張延時照片,展現了大自然母親最為狂暴的一面。

劉屹靖的風暴攝影作品受到了廣泛的認可。許多社交媒體用戶稱他為“追風少年”。2021年8月22日,他在內蒙古自治區用相機捕捉到了一個完整的“超級單體”。

氣象學家使用“超級單體”一詞來描述一種持續旋轉的雷暴,通常伴隨著危險的氣象條件,包括冰雹、破壞性大風,有時還有龍卷風。它擁有深厚、持續旋轉上升氣流的中氣旋。

劉屹靖說:“我在高中時就意識到氣象學是我以后想要從事的工作。”他還說他在社交媒體上開設了自己的賬號來預報天氣情況并傳播氣象學知識。

2020年7月,他到內蒙古開啟第一次追風之旅。這些拍攝地點都是劉屹靖精心挑選過的,對他來說,內蒙古滿足拍攝風暴的三個條件:沒有山谷或山脈的平坦的草原地形、人口稀少以及濕度相對較低。

劉屹靖回憶說:“那是一個正在演變為颮線的超級單體。在它的前面,有一片灘云懸在半空,就像一堵不可思議的云墻,向我沖來。為了給它拍一個完整的延時視頻,我一直待到最后一刻,等風力實在變得太強的時候才撤。”
