That "iPhone" shot really is one from a 5D Mk II, but isn't it amazing now how an iPhone can be confused with something much larger in a low-res format! Especially with all the editing apps available! Thanks!

What's crazy is I really love the iphone shot of the 3 people watching the game with the storm brewing above. Their solid color shirts really make a nice impact. Great composition.

If you have a bolt coming down every two or three seconds, then you can find an aperture value that will allow you a shutter speed long enough to capture several bolts, or just one. It really depends on how you want the image to look, without overexposing distracting highlights too much (the street lights in your posted picture are not too distracting). What will affect the intensity of the bolt is your aperture. If you can, try to keep it anywhere between wide open and f/8. Beyond that (f/11-f/22), you might not be able to pick up the intensity of the bolt (of course, this depends on the actual intensity and how far away it is). There's not a hard and fast rule to this type of shooting, and it's definitely worth experimentation! It all depends on how hot the storm is.

Trying to shoot the same storm out of my apartment window, I closed my aperture down and tried speeds between two seconds and 20 with mixed results. The only decent lightning shot I've ever gotten was this one last year: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3383/3251986670_fcd142f6cc_m.jpg What’s a good exposure time for shooting lightning storms near dusk?
