Exactly Nice one out of 20 shots I'm going to try 9 seconds instead of 16 second shutterspeed next time. When there is so much lightning you catch 1 then 2 more bolts give to much light Trial and error

There's a new photographer in town I got lucky on one last night.
It's about fricking time! Looks somewhat good except you need to get the photo in the middle of the picture. LOL great job, practice makes perfect and your f-stop will be your best friend when you have it set just right.

leave it at 16 seconds, it will make it easier and less time of fiddling with the shutter button. Your f-stop should be adjustsed accordingly to the amount of light coming from the lightning into your camera lens. Also your ISO for lightning should be set at 100 and f-stop about 4.5 try that and also don't forget to set your focus to infinity. If the lightning is blinding bright and close to you, set your F-stop to a higher number like 6.0 or higher. Hope that helps ya out.
