accidental animation

I will start writing again soon, I swear, once I can work up a sweat about anything other than vitriolic bitterness or wallowing self-pity. In the meantime, more photocrap.

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.

I’ve been back here four times today to peek at your accidental animation. I’m cussing you but, damn, if this isn’t absolutely exquisite.

Wow! That’s amazing! I was watching the same storm from a nearby window, but I wasn’t brave enough to try and photograph it. Well done!

Thanks! Your comment has been submitted and will appear shortly.
