Chronos User Discussion / Filming lightning
« on: February 11, 2023, 01:27:44 AM »
Hi Everyone,
I've got a challenge here that could do with some help. I'm trying to film lightning at night. So far, every attempt has failed. Not because the lightning was too fast for the lightning sensor, but because my Chronos 2.1 couldn't accept the underexposed image.
I'm shooting 1920 at 1000fps. Black calibration all done. Because lightning brightens up the whole scene, I had to start with a heavily underexposed image. When the lightning came on, I could see the lightning streaks. However the image was filled with vertical and horizontal banding artefacts due to the initial underexposure. Is there any way to shoot a relatively clean image of lightning activities? Thanks for the help!
