lightning storm over time

best viewed large

 

a quick little experiment on the iphone in a thunderstorm last week. 5 pixel columns per second (if I recall) slit-scan (using "timetracks" app) pointed to one spot on the horizon over the treeline of the parking lot. The big splash of light is a car leaving the lot during the scan. That particular app can save images on the fly so this is the result of splicing the resulting three together.

 

I'd be interested to try this with a highspeed higher resolution scan configuration, or ditch the real-time and post-process the scan from a high speed video source.

 

Also the storm was dying down by the time I was bored enough to try it, must do it sooner! ;-)
