Very cool- open exposure, tripod and a bit of luck or more to it than that? I'd love to get a good lightning shot!

basicaly bulb setting, lock your shutter open, point your camera towards storm, focus infinity, 100 iso, f2.8-5.6, and dont over expose any lights that may be in your seen, i locked my shutter open with a cable release and on the second picture that is actually 3 different strikes. its kind of fun to play around with but keep a reasonable distance and be careful lightning is pretty powerful

Very nice captures. I like the exposure level you've achieved but feel you signature distracts far too much from the image.

Super shots! Very dramatic.

Great shots. I've only tried this once and didn't quite get there. Looking forward to the next storm now though!
