I remember seeing a documentary about a lightning photographer in Florida. He said that nearby lightning strikes momentarily illuminate the surroundings with similar intensity as daylight, so your camera settings can be the same as a daylight shot except for the exposure length. I've found this works for me.
Hoping to get some decent lightning in Sydney soon!

Makes sense, Morton thanks for the tip.
I was using 100 ASA earlier in the afternoon trying the get the late arvo lightning with ND filters etc, but I reverted to 400ASA for the night shots, which is what I've always done.
I think it's a carry over from existing light photography that I probably haven't fully thought through.
I'll play with it next time!
