I spent around 30 minutes tonight trying to capture lightning as the storm blew in. While I got some spectacular shots of the pensive nothingness just before a large, spectacular, awe-inspiring, room-shaking lightning strike, I only actually caught it once or twice. Upon review, however, it occurred to me that instanding there taking exposure after exposure, I had accidentally created a nice set of pictures for an animation.
