It was 15mins after the first capture so the clouds changed and the excess white is from the cumulonimbus cloud reflecting the suns light from about 7 km in the sky.

I don't think the clouds are to bright there. Not burned. I like to reward stuff that is different. This is great for me.

Great opportunism, I never could capture lightning (my matter is pending). Very good process.
