Took some shots of the tail-end of a storm that blew by late last night. Didn’t get any lightningbolts, but I did catch quite a few of the clouds flashing with the lightning beyond.

This one shows lightning *way* off to the north:

This one shows lightning seemingly above Brigham City, or maybe Ogden:

And here’s a similar shot, but without lightning. You can see that someone is getting dumped on.

I took a number of photos (ten second exposures) on automatic. I converted them into an animated GIF image that’s actually pretty sweet at decent resolution, but has a huge filesize. Anyone know how to convert an animated GIF into a video format YouTube accepts? Here’s the dinkysize version:

UPDATE: Here’s the YouTube video:

  1. By a strange co-inky-dink, I ran across this mere moments ago:

  2. Huh. Well, that actually seemed to work remarkably well. The AVI file is uploading to YouTube now.

  3. Shot #2 looks like one of the UFOs showing up in Close Encounters.
