Air 2s 5 Amazing Night Lightning Photos. Taken with the Air2S.

[cgmaxed]

There was this constant lightning storm over the ocean nearby my house. So I just took the Air2S up and started taking 1 second exposure shots of the lightning storm, over and over and over. These are a few shots I got. Then I cleaned up. Click on them to get the full effect. I'm amazed with how these RAW AIR2S photos can be cleaned up in post. some of the graininess in photoshop. I didn't do any retouching, just image adjustments. Photo were shot in RAW/DNG format.

Looks like something straight out of a Nightmare movie. Excellent.

What time of the day was this?

Around 9:50 pm EST according to the meta data stored in the file. But I noticed an orange glow on the bottom left of some of the pics. Maybe it was the moon? The orange glow on the right is downtown Naples, Florida. The lightning storm was over the Gulf of Mexico. Being where I am gives me the opportunity to take lots of ocean related weather phenomena. The Gulf is very hot this time of year and evaporates quite a bit, causing lots of afternoon showers, humidity and lightning storms. Florida is supposed to be the lightning capital of the USA. Though recently Oklahoma may be winning that status.

They are great shots. I was very distracted by your huge watermarks which sort of ruined the images for me.

Oops. I was trying to make them look like big poster ads or something. Thanks for the comment. Next time, I'll leave them out. They were meant to be more like Poster Graphics. I put them to the side, so If anyone wants to use them, they could photoshop that area out or cut the image. I will not copyright them, so feel free to share or use any way you wish.

I try to make watermark copyright faint using the opacity slider.

I know what you mean, I am 3 hours North of you and the gulf temp where I was fishing was 85 degrees which is much cooler than normal because of all the rain we have had
