Are you using a shutter trigger for this?

Personally I take a long exposure picture in order to capture a lighting bolt. It takes some time to learn the sky and storm so you press the trigger at the right moment. You can try with shutter speeds from 5" up to 30". And a lot of patient. Point the camera on a tripod to the direction you see the bolts and use manual focus. Usually almost infinite.
