I found some really cool lightning photography at (suprise, suprise) www.lightningphotography.com.  Check out the photos, and also check out the Photo Tips section where the author shares his techniques.   Cool

That is a very good and interesting site! For me, your post is timely.

Day before yesterday, the local TV station reported that in their viewing area all within a five hour time period, there were over 5200 lightning strikes! It's been some time since I've tried to photograph lightening and was not successful at all. Will take a longer look at the tips when time permits.

It is important to anyone wanting to photograph lightning that they be aware of some of the potential dangers.  I've listed some of them in a new article, which also contains a link to the National Weather Service Lightning Safety website:

Do NOT photograph lightning before fully educating yourself about safety issues.
