its kind of a pain in the ass to capture lightning strikes. i now have a new found appeciation for it.
A thunderstorm started on the other side of the river - a perfect occasion to set my tripod on the balcony and try some luck.
My setup for capturing lightning is dead simple - I go manual and set an exposure time of a few seconds, choosing an appropriate aperture (5.6 or 8, with ISO 100). Now, just pull the trigger and have hope :). The ambient gets underexposed by 2-3 stops, while any lightning occuring during the exposure is captured perfectly - it is very short, yet bright enough to burn into the image.
The image hit Explore at #29. Thanks everybody!

While watching a storm rotating and trying to drop a tornado. The lightning started to ramp up. i probably watching 30-50 bolts hit around in in five minutes.

Lightning strikes near Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, Aug. 4, 2019. When lightning is observed or reported within five nautical miles of an Air Force base, all outdoor personnel are responsible for taking immediate shelter. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Jonathan McElderry)
This photo was taken a few years ago in North Richland Hills. Building in the fore ground is the Church of Christ, in the background, where the lightning is striking is downtown Fort Worth. The Camera used was an Olympus OMG 35mm film camera using Kodak ISO 100 Film. The Exposure is unknown. Scanned from negative with a Canon Canonscan 8600F scanner.
This is a composite of 24 frames of video (basically less than one second) of a surprise lightning storm that rolled through Corvallis the other evening during sunset. The sunset was awesome, but the lightning was a definite bonus!

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!
At about 0040 on the morning of July 4th 2015, a strong cluster of thunderstorms moved north over Huntingdon. The vast majority of the lightning was intra-cloud, although I did manage to catch a couple of strikes...

The storm was weakening but still maintained decent structure and lightning as it passed to the southwest of Lamar.
Summer solargraphy (2016-07-16 --> 08-02). Camera was positioned about 5 meters from house. On the roof there was an old lightning-conductor made of wire and wooden poles. It seems from this photo that this device attracts the solar paths.
Taken with beer can of 18x14 cm Kodak Polymax paper. No development, no fixation, scanned with Epson 4490Photo. Exposure 2-3 weeks.
Last night was great for getting lighening images. No much in the way of rain, but the light show was fine.
Lightning in a stormy Sunset...Too cool...This is a single image...No AI, or Composite.

This storm knocked out power for 24hrs. Hull, Massachusetts. Only the second time I've captured lightning. Plugged in a trigger and took multiple exposures till finally I hit the trigger and this display lit up the sky.
Taken with Nikon P950 in video mode. Tech specs: 8:18PM to 8:57PM, iso 100 & 400 @ 30 fps.
Best discharges shown in real-time and slowed to 25% real-time.
Seems like I acquired more lightning with the Nikon P950 over the Nikon d3500. However, the faster scan rate of 60 fps over 30 fps with the d3500 provided for a crisper less noisy image (24mb vs 16mb than the P950) . The P950 had the advantage of zooming into an area over the fixed d3500.
