These photos are dramatic examples of capturing lightning in still images.  Maeder says he used ISO 400 and a 25 sec. exposure, with a 24mm lens at f/8 on the photo below which was a long enough exposure to capture the two separate lightning strikes in the same image. A flashlight was used to illuminate the foreground elements of this scene during the long exposure.
