I can't even manage to catch the GKs smiling let alone push the button quick enough to capture lightning. How do they do that?

Sound tripped shutter release with time exposures, and/or multiple shooting press the shutter and the camera takes pictures at 3-7 FPS till the memory is too full and slows the capture speed or the memory card is full.

Those are great pictures. I've always been fascinated with watching the array of lightning during thunderstorms.I especially enjoy the warm weather heat lightning as some call it,when you have the sky lighting up but don't get the rainfall. I've often bought those acts of nature calendars over the years.

Most of these are probable fakes, or at least highly altered for dramatic effect. In any case, they are very nice...

Something to remember about photography; photographers that develop their own film and tray developed pictures have always been able to alter photos, filters, exposure time (in the field and in the lab), cropping, dodging, burning. Altering photos is nothing new, just a lot easier and available to the masses with less training.
This is part of their artistic expression of the scene they pictured in their mind when taking the picture or when reviewing the print later. A camera seldom captures the image as actually seen.
The point is enjoy the picture as it is.
