I didn't have a lightning trigger, so my method to catch the lightning was to just stand there with the focus on infinity and just click away. I could click 500-1000 photos at one stop. Having a UHS-II class 10 card helped with the rapid fire clicking.
I now own a lightning trigger called Pluto.

Moment particulièrement intense en électricité depuis les Monts Lyonnais, première expérience photographique dans ce secteur pour la petite anecdote !
Il s'agit d'une superposition de deux photos prise à 1 min d'intervalle seulement !!
A crazy lightning storm is blowing through Colorado tonight!! The city of Westminster is seen at the bottom of the frame. Thanks for stopping!!! Here it is on my site shotwilliam.smugmug.com/Other/Lightning/18846519_n8znkk#!...
With the forecast for thunderstoms building through the day and into the evening, I had the stormwatch radar going from lunchtime.
Sorms built over Brittany then drifted over the Channel Islands and up the Channel towards us. Until just before midninght, we just saw flashes of storms from the distance. But a massive storm settled over east Kent lighting the sky up for half an hour, before just petering out.
At the end, many flashes of lightning overhead, but no thunder.
Revision improves masking of artifacts like blurred tree and cloud motion.
This is a stack of 6 images. iLightningApp2 was used. Interesting to note that most of the lightning occurred at the end of the thunderstorm.
A cloud-to-ground lightning strike occurring in a rain curtain. The distant light comes from the nearby city.
Last night was the first time I went out to shoot lightning and had to ask myself " what the hell were you thinking " It got a lot worse than I expected.
Woken up at 2 a.m. by a massive thunderstorm over Plymouth, England which continued almost overhead for about 20 minutes. managed to capture this bolt of lightning. Shot taken through my window.

These Lightning Whelks were found at Lovers Key Nature Reserve and Naples Beach, Florida. Lovers Key is one of the best beaches for a wide variety of shells and wildlife. Don't forget your insect repellent if you visit Lovers Key!
The state symbol for Texas.
Large and distinctive; the lovely Lightning Whelk is found only in the Gulf of Mexico and Southeast Atlantic coast of the USA. Most spiraling shells open to the right with a rare specimen opening to the left. The Lightning Whelk' s Latin name (Busycon contrarium) indicates its contrary nature, as it normally opens left. Lightning Whelks grow to one foot in length, though 15 inches has been recorded. Strong summer storms often wash large shells ashore - if you should find a live Whelk, please put it back in the water where it belongs.
These shells have inhabited our waters for 60 million years and have been significant to cultures in our history. Indians used whelks as food, housewares and weapons; remains have been discovered in burial grounds.

For more than two hours, I was following a persistent squall line moving in from Casper, Wyoming. At 11:49PM, all hell broke loose as it hit Cheyenne (turning night into day). Lightning was explosive; literally. These strikes occurred within a mile and another one landed just two houses away. I will try to upload that image but the quality is difficult to work around.
While shoot through a window, rain started to mare my image with glaring drops. Still, I was able to capture these two powerful bolts that occurred within 30 seconds of eachother (this is a 2 stacked image).
This was taken in Rapid City, South Dakota.
Here is a link to some more lightning photos!! www.flickr.com/photos/kevinaker/sets/72157609571304508/
Lightning streaks between clouds during a slowly moving storm over Hendy,West Wales,UK.Fortunately there were not any lightning strikes. Unfortunately,photographically,most the storm was just a light show behind the heavy clouds.
Spectacular electrical storms often spawn near the Louisiana coast. Lightning strikes the ground, above the clouds, and travels great distances through the clouds. I captured this photo with CHDK and a motion detection script (see this post for more details).

In late July of 2016 we were treated to some insanely beautiful and powerful lightning displays in the midwest. By all accounts I probably should be dead from having been this close!
