Very well done and I have tried to do this but failed badly.
I hope you like these what you have got as I do.

 

[Unframed Dave]

Shockingly good!

See what I did there.

 

[Jeff A]

Excellent shots. You just can't get those every day.

Amazing shots, wish I could even witness some of those some day... I guess I'm not skilled enough to get my gear ready at time to get those shots.

Amazing shots, wish I could even witness some of those some day... I guess I'm not skilled enough to get my gear ready at time to get those shots.

See the aperture, shutter speed and ISO? f/8, 2 seconds, ISO 100. The lighting only lasts a split second.

Essentially, set up in a dark area, open the shutter, and wait for the lighting. It's the same as using a flash, in this case the lightning is the flash. A little trial end error will get some good results.

Amazing.
I've some nice pics of thunder, if you'd like to swap..
