So for my birthday I splurged and bought myself a new camera. (Canon Digital Rebel XTi)
Was at the Museum of Science yesterday for Bodyworlds and managed to shoot a couple pics of the Van De Graf generator. (For some fun trivia about it, it was actually built down at the Colonel Green estate in S. Dartmouth in a huge hangar that used to be there.

2 second exposure, no tripod.
Another 2 second exposure.
I would have liked to have had a wide angle lense and shoot both sides (and balls) at the same time. That would have come out really really neat.
