I know there's traffic control of some kind, but a couple of times it looked like one would be coming right at another. ^^;;

And one chasing the other's wake.

We had an electrical storm roll through recently (it's that time of the year for Colorado) and I decided to set the S1RII up & use Live View Composite to see what I could capture. As I was letting it roll, I was disappointed in that it seemed that all the lightning was obscured by clouds. However once I pulled the images down I spied this one corner where there was this little window in the clouds and one bolt was nicely framed. So, after a super-tight crop (24mm shot cropped down to about a 70mm field of view) I got this:

• Panasonic - DC-S1RM2
• Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN | A (L-Mount)
• 24.0 mm
• ƒ/4
• 10 sec
• Pattern
• Manual exposure
• ISO 400

So, I really think this showcases how incredibly effective the combination of LVC & the hi-resolution sensor is. Had I zoomed into 70mm I almost certainly would have picked a different area of the sky and never recorded this delightful little scene.

It also makes me wish for a 60 MP sensor, but, in this scenario anyway, the LVC was more important. It got me the shot. Just love that little bit of firmware!
