Late October Lightning Storm, 2011

I shot some video of a lightning storm with my little point & shoot digital camera.  Since there were LONG periods of no lightning, I save frames from the video as separate pictures, then made a .GIF image out of it.
I want to see how it turns out here, since I don't think I've tried loading this file type into this blog.
So...here goes:

Ok...as it turns out, in order to see the .GIF animation, you have to click the picture above to see the full-size image.  Even then, however, the quality of each "frame" isn't nearly what the originals were, but you can at least get a good idea of what was going on.  The file size is MUCH smaller than trying to load a video!

Below is a couple of the better individual frames (click each one to see the slightly larger original frame)...they still aren't that great, but it works.
