Really great. The technical name for those "god rays" you see coming from the sun are crepuscular rays. Those are some of the best I have seen. Next time you see them try turning the drone around 180 degrees and you may see them converging in the opposite direction (those are called anticrepuscular rays). When present, they are easily seen with a drone up a couple hundred feet or so, and they can be spectacular.

Here are a few examples of the anticrepuscular rays I mentioned earlier in this thread. In all three cases these pictures were taken directly opposite the sunrises. The sunrises were very nice, but these shots 180 degrees from the sunrise itself are also very nice. The converging lines result from an optical effect similar to that seen when looking down a pair of railroad tracks into the distance. The lines appear to converge, but they are actually parallel light rays.

Next time flying during a sunset, i'll try this out

From the other night. Just a slight tweak in Lightroom.
