I've taken lightning shots before. I did what was mentioned here- turn the ISO down as low as possible and hold the shutter open for as long as possible.
It works best at night. Also lightning often has a repeating interval - a bright lightning bolt every 30 seconds so you can wait until you think one is imminent and then open.
I usually kept the shutter open for about 30 seconds hoping to catch something. I got some good results.
It'd be a lot harder in daylight. Although I did a great one once with an approaching storm and frequent large bolts. In Sydney at least, storms are usually late afternoon or early evening and an approaching heavy storm makes conditions a bit dark anyway.
I wouldn't suggest sitting on a metal roof in the rain to take one like I did but I did get the great shot!
Greg.
