Houghy - how do you do your lightning shots? - aperture/speed etc - I've never been able to get a good balance between exposure time - too short and miss them all, too long and overexpose!

hand held or tripod mount(mine were all handheld) set focus to infinity, and exposure to program(auto), and the iso setting high, 400-1600. then point and shoot when you see the light. helps train your reaction time. oh and manually click onthe shutter. night shots are longer exposures on the tripod

manual setting of course
