Take a whole lot of pictures. Click click click click during light shows. Digital photography rocks for this.

Luck and planning.

Some places attract more lighting than others or there’s a storm coming so you prepare. Then you take lots of pictures and hope you get lucky

Long exposure.

By setting the camera so it doesn’t let in much light you can leave the shutter open for several seconds (or even minutes). In that time the background image will get correctly exposed, and any lightning strikes which occur will be bright enough to appear anyway.

You can then just take photo after photo after photo until you get a strike in frame.
