Someone must have some nice shots on the last lightning storm....

Option A)
1) Tripod
2) High F-Number (due to 2 and not wanting to have other lights kill the shot)
3) Long exposure
4) Luck
Option B)
Shoot when you see the first flash.. there's usually another one at the same time/slightly offset in time/space.

haha... with option B would you use the auto setting or night scene???

If your camera only has "fixed settings" try "sports" or maybe landscape.

My olympus had a lightening option...
Really missing my camera right now :'(

For that first photo I took, I actually used a fast shutter speed and just clicked as soon as I spotted a lightning.
I was quite bummed to miss the opportunity to take some photos of last Saturday night's event. These are the best ones I've seen on the net so far, not sure if everyone can see this link:
