I remember a recent thread about that was posted about a month ago about lightning photos. Ever since I saw that I've wanted to try it.
Only issue is I live in GA and we have been in a drought the for the last year, so not a lot of thunder storms. Well I was asleep last night and I was awoken to the sound of thunder. I got out of bed, got dressed, grabbed my tripod, mounted my D40, and took it to my stoop for the next half hour shooting 30 sec exposures over and over again.
I only had a limited view from my stoop and the lightning was mostly out of my view, but I figured I might get lucky. So I sat outside in the weeee hours of the morning clicking the shutter over and over again. Then I saw a flash, and caught one. It wasn't the spectacular shot I was hoping for, but it was fun for a first attempt. Hopefully next time I can setup something better. For now, I'm happy.
