that is how lighting photography usually works. you see from where the storm is coming, point it to that direction and set the shooter speed as long as you can. That is why it is easier to do it at night. And when the storm is serious, most of the time you do get the lightning in every 5-6 shots.
And not letting the lightning to reach on top of you while you are standing there with your metal tripod feels pretty important :D
The most frustrating is when you are between the shots and you see the spectacular one hitting it :)
Well that's one important note 🤣
I guess i'm not trying that anytime soon

But that's what usually happens to me, lol :)
