First time filming a storm of any kind. This is known as heat lightning.....the atmosphere is freakishly still and quiet, but the most brilliant lightshow ever was occurring in the sky. Luckily I had my Inspire 1 X5R in the back seat
Absolutely beautiful video. Well done and I admit I'm more than a little jealous
re: Heat Lightning - It's really "normal" lightning but the storm etc is far enough away all you can see is flashes of light (often times reflected through the clouds). There's thunder and all associated with it but you're just far enough away to where you only see lightning flashes. Also don't confuse this with "Sprites" which is electricity generated at insanely high altitudes above some storms and seen for hundreds of miles away. Sprites aren't even lightning at all and are actually "Cold" when compared to lightning.
