Abstract
A method is disclosed for capturing one or more images that include a lightning strike using an image capturing device. The method is performed by one or more processors of the image capturing device. The one or more processors automatically capture a plurality of images during a period of time using the lens of the device. Each of the plurality of images is processed to detect a presence of lightning within each image. Each image is processed based, at least part, on two consecutive captured images. Images that have been determined to include the presence of lightning are stored in a memory resource of the image capturing device.
