When it RAINS ! The skies get insane with opportunity to caputre something interesting. i wil post the video in a few days as there is a lot to unpack.

Its 2 am the Mavic 3 Pro is geared up with the Wet Suit an ready at 4k 60 Frames with 3 x zoom and the Rain is coming down in sheets.

Something is happening in the clouds :

There is a single cluster in the sky Lets call it a Lightning Portal. This ever changing mass will keep my attention for the next hour.

WIthin this hour I will have taken 300 Still Frames an Recorded 6 planes that needed to navigte this weather anomaly.

Its an unbelivable sight , clouds rolling an stacking.

Than this appeared in the sky; shortly after this sparked out , it looked like a Nuclear attack sub appeared and than disappeared, and the Rain stopped , but my car radio USB charger was flashing , and the first plane was approaching and did not like what it saw. lol

I dont think the plane saw this until it got pretty close, I though it just might get caught inside but it dropped low very quickly.
I would love to let that Pilot know I captured this on video as it was surreal.

Not sure where the plane went , but I lost it in the pictue but On video you can see it pass thru .

wowowowow.jpg

If you look close you can see. another plane to the right going thru it as I think they saw an opening out of there.

The Next Frame shows that Plane very close to the danger zone: As you can see the plane directly under the bolt ,

At some points the sky just lights up and than falls completely black

The Storm was gaining Momentum and clouds were stacking creating these 3D landscapes and would stay lit up as the cloud never moved.

mmhjjhhjjhjhj.jpg

This new 3D dimension in the sky would stick around forever collecting Lighting bolts
This was happening so close to me that i could not use the 7 x zoom , and thus 3x was just perfect.

Things are about to get interesting , as the sky starts to shift to Red , and another plane enters the Realm.




Part 2 and 3 Below : :cool: The full Video will be posted on the Website.

There is so much Detail in the 4K frames , as you see inside the storm.

Look how insignificant that plane looks surrounded by the wrath.

Very interesting photos. The lights on the ground are good for context and depth I'm unable to find the airplane beneath the lightning bolt in #7.
You Might have to Wait for the Video, as the Focus of the video will be to highlight the planes a little bit more.
Its just a sliver of black where you can see the tail and outline , but the video is much more defined on the planes .

Excellent work. What were your camera settings? Are these still pictures from your video or was the lightning show so continuous that you had no trouble with timing a shot?

What’s the community under this? Or perhaps it’s actually in the foreground with the storm in the distance.
 
There was lightning constantly that night, but it was behind a cloud set, so I just put the drone about 120’ up and just took tons of pictures until the timing for a nice shot hit. It was a pain going through hundreds of pictures, but a few came out really nicely.

As for setting, I do not remember as I was changing the setting often to increased my chances for a good shot. I really do not have much of a clue yet, as I am just a beginner
