lightning slides scanned…

I finally had some scans from last spring scanned, including these lightning pictures.  These were shot on May 17, 2007 from the balcony of our old house in the NE heights of Albuquerque.  This first one was a double exposure; the first shot was a zoomed-in exposure of nothing but a full moon on a clear night in March; the second shot was an 8 second exposure on May 17th of the lightning and remaining foreground.  In other words, I took two pictures on the same frame of film.  Instead of advancing the film after the first shot of the moon, I waited to re-expose it with a second shot which happened to be the lightning.

The remaining 3 shots had exposure times ranging from about 8 to 30 seconds.

    Wow Todd, you sound like real photographer “double exposure” and “real advancing”… very impressive!
