How are you catching the lightning strikes? Is it random luck, or are you keeping the shutter open to catch it?

That first shot is wicked, has gothic photoshop written all over it (go black and white, add some aging to the pic...)

It may have broken your plane but I would strongly advise you don't try and hit it or anything if you get angry!

Some good catpures Jordan :)

My method is to set the camera up for a 10 second exposure and repeat until you get some lightning during a shot....

If you can figure out how to do that on a Canon powershot SD1100 IS than I will do it that way! ;D

Why regular digital cameras have an exposure setting!

:'(

Bursting photos is probably your best bet without getting an SLR, Skoker :-/ :P

Point-and-Shoot type cameras can do manual settings too ;)

According to the Canon website your camera can have up to 15 seconds exposure time, which is about standard for P&S cameras.
