Lightning shots for me have always been either setting it to a set amount of time 15-30 seconds or by setting the camera to bulb and using a remote. Open the shutter with the first press of the remote, wait for lightning to strike once it does press the remote button again to close the shutter. If you want a foreground in the picture, set the shot up to properly expose the foreground. I have done it with a point and shoot and a DSLR.
