Hector. Years since I have done it so I am rusty but I think to take the picture you need a time exposure of some sort easy with a proper old film camera, you need a sophisticated digital with slow film speed etc to fool it to take a longer shot.

Got 3 photo's tonight, 1 at my 1st attempt.

Not brilliant, but not bad, can see it's lightning.



Olympus, Camedia, 4 megapixel, and it's over 5 years old!!!

Also, switch flash off.



Plenty lightning still about, give it a go.

Good luck

From past experience this is likely to go on all night.



The best light show on the planet in our view. Sad there is no water arriving.
