ooooh I was also testing postimage (as I never seem to be able to post images from dropbox these days) and these look pretty bad downsized on FM. Sorry.

Quite dramatic, Wembley, were these captured via a light trigger?

I used to use a trigger on my Nikon bodies but I use Olympus now for these shots. They have a feature called Live Composite. It takes a base image and then only adds additional light. It's perfect for star trails and lightning.
I usually try to capture 2-3 bolts and then start a new image.
#2 is a composite image of several shots using the live composite feature. #4 and 5 also.
#1 was set up for live composite and when I went back out to check what it has caught I was amazed to find this bolt straight from the heavens so didn't want to record any more strikes on the 1 image.
