Nothing could be simpler. Mount your camera on a tripod, point it in the
direction of the lightning and lock the shutter open. Wait for a few
lightning flashed in front of the lens and then close the shutter. Try
different apertures and different times. Chances are all of them will work
OK.

Cheers!
