Mark,
Not bad, here's mine: http://www.pbase.com/dalefrederick/image/24885034
Anyway, You'll need a tripod (support) and a remote release. Set your f/stop
as you would for fireworks, and the shutter speed to Bulb, lens set to
manual focus (autofocus off) and set at infinity. The real trick is to count
the time between lightning strikes, i.e. counting using the old 1/1000
2/1000, 3/1000 method, or you can cheat and use a watch. You'll find that
the strikes from a particular cloud occur on a pretty regular interval. Then
a few seconds before you expect the next strike, open the shutter and close
it right after the strike.

Hi,
There are some good photos of lightning from the recent storms over
southern
England available from the BBC here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/multimedia/gallery/
How would you go about taking this sort of picture?
I assume it's a similar technique to fireworks.
Regards
Mark
