Thanks, lightning facinates me with it's unpredictable allure.

I agree, it totally facinates me too. I have not been lucky enough to capture it. Do you think it is possible with a point and shoot?

You need to be able to have shutter speed loger than 1 second, a tripod/sandbag, and most importantly, a safe place to shoot from (preferably a dry spot)- parking ramps are a good place to start. If you animate a radar site you can predict direction (sort of)but other than that it's like catching lightning in a bottle...
be prepared to take 1 or 2 hundred pictures in order to get a keeper. Even if the lighting is miles away, don't stand on a hill top holding an umbrella (sorry, had to say it)

Another great lightning capture. Amazing and beautiful.
