Hi Martin,
Yes I set the camera to Bulb, and I use an intervalometer to set the times. In the Suburbs I try and set the exposure so the foreground is correctly lit. So I am not blowing out the street lights etc..
In this image I have the following Settings... ISO100, f-stop at f5.6, Exposure at 15s. I set the intervalometer up so it would be continuously shooting at 15s. So I was quite lucky to get the framing spot on.
If this was in rural areas without much light I tend to just hold the shutter open until the strike happens. I always start with the ISO at 100 and aperture at f5.6 then check the photo's and adjust settings if needed.. ie.. increase the f-stop to f6.3 if the bolt is over exposed. I try not to adjust the ISO on my camera. It hates high ISO levels.
