Etymology: Hyper – comes from the ancient greek ὑπέρ and means over or above.
Hyperion was at the Greek mythology a Titan father of the sun and literally means the one who watches above

Interview with real storm hunter and photographer Guillaume Hobam on using the Irix 15mm f/2.4 full frame DSLR lens ($425-$575):
Why did you choose such a domain – that is, taking pictures of tornadoes?
I’ve always been passionate about nature, the environment, and the planet ever since I was young. At the age of four (in 1999), there was this very violent storm that crossed over France. This was a pretty memorable storm, with wind speeds over 150 kilometres an hour in my area, but peaking at 200 kilometres an hour… not unlike the famous movie Twister released in 1996 and known worldwide!
My parents tell me that it was from that moment that I started to become passionate about meteorology. I would live out other moments during my childhood with thunderstorms that were particularly violent in my area… From 12 years of age, I became self-taught in meteorology using sites such as, for example, Meteociel.fr or infoclimat.fr and plenty of others. I’m particularly interested in the predictions of violent phenomena as well as winter phenomena, all thanks to numerical prediction models with computers roughly calculating billions of data in real time to make prediction maps over several days. These prediction models have evolved enormously in the last ten years with forecasts being more and more precise in areas, and being increasingly reliable too.
