if you wanna get kickass shots of lightning, use a film SLR camera. Put it on a tripod and point it at the storm, zoomed all the way out, focused to infinity (sideways 8). Set the shutter speed to a very high number (if it's frequent lighning, 30 seconds. Less frequent, 1 minute/2 minutes - use your judgement based on the storm) Make sure the aperture is set low so you don't have too much light getting in during the shot. It looks AWESOME.
