Show - Photographing an Klectric Bolt. Albany Evening Journal. Another triumph of photography in the field of atmospheric electricity has just been achieved at Haines Fall iu the Catskills, by J. R. Rusk, who made the remarkable nega- I tive of a lightning Hash, noted a few days ago. This time the exposure was made during a violent shower iu daylight, aud the print shows the bursliug of a tremendous electric bolt about 500 feet above the ; ground. From the scene of the explosion to the ground is a broad and vivid Btreak of fire, with the peculiar jagged outlines so often seen, sharply defined in the dark ground work of the storm. A series of photographs pho-tographs illustrating the different phases of a summer shower or storm in the Catskills n5w seems possible, and Mr. Rusk is about to make further experiments in this line. |
