DJI POCKET 2: Time-Lapse Take 4

Another Inter Monsoonal Downpour

We are now in the first inter monsoonal period here in Kuala Lumpur. Outside the monsoon seasons, it can rain at almost any time — Malaysia is, after all, a tropical destination.

Today was no exception. A proper thunderstorm rolled in and lasted well over an hour, giving us the perfect opportunity for our fourth attempt at timelapse photography.

Capturing the Storm

This time, we focused on the Kuala Lumpur skyline from several perspectives — first during the thunderstorm, and later as dusk approached.

For the storm sequence, we set the DJI Pocket 2 to capture one frame every three seconds, over a duration of two hours:

• one hour before the storm peaked
• one hour after

Later, using the exact same settings, we captured the sunset, again one hour before and one hour after. There were no filters attached; we relied on the lens au naturel.

Another Piece of KL’s Sky

Each timelapse feels like a small window into the city’s moods — from dark clouds and lightning to the soft glow of dusk. This fourth instalment adds another chapter to our little KL skyline series.
