An 11th grader in Cebu City caught on camera a looming thunderstorm above Barangay Talamban in a time lapse video composed of 214 photos.

John Beryl Go, a 17-year-old University of San Carlos student, said he captured the photos Wednesday night from his dormitory's balcony in Cebu City.

"I think I was grade 5 or 6 that I loved taking pictures. Since I also love cycling, I took pictures of anything I see when cycling back home," Go told ABS-CBN News.

The teenager said his desire to master photography grew when his father gave him a professional-level camera for his birthday last January.

He said he did not expect his photos of last week's thunderstorm to go viral.

Go competed in a photo contest during the Sinulog Festival last December and has shot several short films with friends. -- With Leleth Ann Rumaguera, ABS-CBN News
