Great shot, I have had only moderate success with lightning, the storms never seem to cooperate!

Thanks!
I set my camera for a 30 second exposure and just kept taking pictures. This pretty much ensures I'll get the shot and I drop the exposure using a photo manipulation program. In my case I just used iPhoto.

Amazing! But the lightning looks a little over exposed. If you're just really really fast you can use a much slower shutter speed and that will decrease your exposure. Try it next time.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm not fast so I used a 30 second exposure and just kept taking shots. Then I dropped the exposure as much as I could using iPhoto.
The next storm I'll try and get out there quicker and try some different stuff.
Thanks for the suggestions!
