Yep, that was cool! And you didn't send that to the TV station?

Naw, been tired lately.
I should have sent those stills of the previous lightning storm 30 miles away.
I didn't post them here so...

Nice cloud lightning captures! I like watching that kind of lightning. I have an app on my iPad that automatically captures lightning. It is appropriately called "LightningCam". I have not had any really good opportunities to get pictures though. Here is one that I like.

Sad that there is not a function like this for any drone.
Can it capture day time lightning?

I think that it will. The developer has a FaceBook page with submitted photos of daylight shots. There are different ISO level settings as well as a manual mode. It uses bracketing on each capture with three shots each. The only thing I am not crazy about is having to sit and weed out the bad shots but it can produce some very interesting photos so it is worth the trouble. The photo I attached was taken at night but if you notice, the sky in the cloud openings show blue sky.. I think that there are quite a few similar apps out there. The version I am using is the free one. There is an upgraded version for $1.99 as well. It would be great if there was a setting for the Spark to do the same thing. Especially for you in your area.
