... How???
Quickly ... tell me... tell me now before it passes over, lol!
I know I need to use the 'Bulb' setting but ... anything else I should know?
Wont it be over-exposed?

Use it on bulb mode, but without without having to hold down the shutter, I don't know which camera your using so can't tell you how to change this..

Then have a black card handy which u cover the lens with between lightning bursts.

Bulb, remote, hold the shutter open and try and time it to catch the strikes. It will probably be overexposed unless it's quite dull, or you use ND Grads.

Sky was an illuminous sort of light grey & no, no grads either... over-exposed as hell! :coat:
