^ What do you do, use bulb and just close the shutter after you see some decent lightning? I need to pick up a remote before next summer.

Pretty much. Lightning is bright as hell so you can usually get away with it. A more sure fire way of doing it is take a normal pic that makes the cityscape look darker than it should, and make it a nice long exposure, and just keep taking pictures over and over until one catches lightning.
It’s a serious PITA to shoot lightning. I’ve never had the patience.

Yeah, between the lack of remote and what I’ve read about it being a big PITA I haven’t even tried.
That, and our storms are usually pretty weak. If you see more than one bolt in the sky at the same time it’s rare.
