Attempt at catching Thor
"Sometimes I see myself as a child in a rain storm, running around trying to catch all the drops in his mouth. I long for your adventures to be like the raindrops the child saves and not those which crash to the ground." - Unknown
Storms rolled through on Saturday night over Hamilton. We were heading back home from a failed attempt to get into the drive-in when I spotted the cells in the distance. I was not prepared to take this shot and it shows. Wrong everything in the back of the car to setup a shot in the dark but here it is regardless.
I gave chase for a few miles hoping for a better vantage point but by the time I made it down to the city limits the cell had lost its power amid the light pollution of the city.

( Great Shot )
Hi,
I’m Alan Miller, a photographer and television producer for Alanworks Studio Productions, (http://www.alanworks.net)
The studio has just launched www.gypsycircus.tv and it may be an interest to you.
We are creating a time capsule for artisans like yourself to link one of your images from Gypsy Circus to your blog.
Our goal is One Million artists and the cost is $ 1.00 per pixel.
It’s fun, inexpensive and will be on the net for five years.
So, if you’d like to run away to the circus, then click over to www.gypsycircus.tv/ .
Thank You
Alan Miller

Even when you have the "wrong everything", the shot is spcectacular. Makes my storm shots from the fifth floor in Brooklyn want to run and hide. I will say that it was the first time I had ever felt the hair stand up on my arm while taking the lightning pics; there was that much electricity in the air.

Thanks for the offer but I think I will keep my dollar and my pixel.
Your FAQ offers no incentive to spend that amount. You say potential millions of people could see my pixel but what guarantee do you offer? How will you advertise this site? How will this site generate traffic?
Sadly your site doesn't even pass the most basic W3C HTML validation and as Google grows more sophisticated your site will be viewed as a page with many outbound links and very little in the way of information. In fact your PR is 2 and mine is 5. You know what.. I think you should pay me a dollar a character for leaving your comment right here on my blog, what do you think of that?.
Cheers,
Paul
