What kind of camera do you have??
if you have one that has Bulb setting you can leave it open until after you get a strike...
another idea is .. which i havn't tried as last night the lightning was coming in fast..

is use a Aperture of F16-f22 and leave shutter longer... you can also use a Black card to place over the lens.. to cut down on the light getting in between Strikes... but that does require better timing..
