The thing with lightning is, you need patience above all else. Typically, if the weather is right, I will get off about 100 shots and manage to grab something in about 4 or 5 of them. 99% of the time, your camera is pointed in the wrong direction for a strike. The other big aspect is having access to an area that gets storms reliably and for a lengthy amount of time right around dusk~evening. PM sent.
