Lightning

I've never photographed lightning before.  I didn't really succeed tonight either.  Out of 150-odd photos, I only got two with lightning in them ..   Of course it didn't help that most of the action was to the north of us, but our only really safe view is to the south.  I was on the balcony for a while until a bolt 300m away changed my mind..  Of course I saw plenty of stuff either in between photos or while my camera was "processing" .. wonder if I can turn that off..
