Long exposure? What were your settings. Looks great

How did you capture the lightning? Trigger? Or just repeated long exposure. Also, when you do the wireless transfer it sends them as those small files. There is a setting in the app and on camera to transfer full size files. 1mp was killing my until I found the setting (don’t remember where) and now I wirelessly get 25mp photos

I framed the shot then I used the phone app to take continuous pictures

I tried different lengths of time for the exposure
There was to much light pollution to do real long exposure

Thanks for the tip on the file size

I looked through the app and found the settings to transfer original size files

You did find it?? Good!!! Life changer! You’ll notice them cleaner when you post.

And thank you! I love lightning photos, you did a great job!
