i was in europe the last 2 weeks and got caught in a massive thunderstorm. i managed to snap about 30 photos of bolt lightning on my k800i, i feel some of them are worth sharing, enjoy!

there is some where i was lucky enough to capture a series of 10 in a row. going from the bright flash in the cloud, through the phases of the bolt its self and then it dieing away. anyone know how i can put these into some kind of animation?

Print them out on equally sized paper, then staple just the left hand edge of them together, in sequence. If you now carefully hold the stapled edge steady in one hand and 'riffle' through the pictures with the thumb of the other the pictures will appear animated.

Win!! :england:

Any video editing software should be able to import pictures. Just change the default length to 1 frame before you import them, stick them on the timeline and export a video :)
