It's exciting stuff and should be no problem at all for you and your night photography skills! Just point the camera at a lightning storm instead and go for 15-60 seconds, depending very much on how much activity is in the air. I just go by feeling, but I'm sure there are more professional ways of going about it :-)
I was just reading about a device that activates the camera when it detects lightning. I have done the long exposure method and I just was not close enough. I need to find a good vantage point the next time a storm comes.
Ooh that's interesting! I wonder how well it works, as it all happens so fast.
Yeah, my best days of shooting lightning were when I was still living with my mum and I had an upstairs window overlooking a farmer's field. It gave me plenty of free space to aim the camera at.
Ofcourse, even so, still only one out of ~20/30 pictures held anything interesting.
