Air 2s Red lightning

[maggior]

This past weekend there was a large thunder storm off in the distance that was lighting up the sky. Knowing I couldn't time it to get lightning shots, I recorded video and took some screen captures from it. This was the best and most impressive one. I've never seen anything like it!

The only enhancements done were to crop the images and in the second one to tame down some overexposed parts using lightroom.

Great! I love lightning shots. Which drone were you flying?

Thanks. That was taken with my Air 2S. The video I recorded was 4k at 30 fps.

Very Nice! What aperture were you using, any ND filter?

Thanks. I'm flying an Air 2S which has a fixed aperture of 2.8. I was not using an ND filter but I dialed back the exposure using the EV functionality of the drone to lessen how blown out the image was when a lightning strike would flash.

Thank You

My guess is that the red color is a result of the Canadian wildfire smoke. It gave me some very eerie sunset photos last night in Ohio. Nice shots!
