We've only had one storm here in the past couple of months that produced lighting, and that was at night, most of the storms have been in the daytime...

Anyway, here is a couple of pics.

Very nice man!! Not really seeing the lightning makes for some cool lighting in the clouds. Especially the bottom right corner of your first pic..

that's most likely an internal lens/filter reflection. You'll only see the brightest part of the lighting strike reflected, so all the other branches probably wouldn't be visible. Very cool :-)

you can get a 'lightning trigger' that will sense the bright lightning and trip the shutter. That might take some of the fun/challenge out of it though. It would still be challenging though, as you don't know WHERE it will strike :-)
