Pretty much, yeah. ;-)

(I was reading a blog entry about a guy who wrote a Haskell program to 
do a physical simulation of lightning. But hey, he only drew ball and 
stick models. :-P Not nearly as cool...)

I'm just thinking about the time it took to set the camera up and wait 
for the right moment.  Lightning photos are always interesting to look 
at, but high-speed video is something else....

You know what might be cool?

TIME-LAPSE PHOTOGRAPHY.

I have no idea how you'd do this automatically, but hypothetically all 
you need is an ordinary still camera and the patience of a POV-Ray user...

I've done that before.... I'll have to dig up the stills and rebuild the 
movie one of these days. I watered a plant, then filmed it over a period 
of 24 hours. It's amazing how much a plant moves during the day.

I'm not sure how a time-lapse photo of something so quick would work....

Oh, some cameras you can control via USB (I think all DSLR and some 
others) and you could set up a laptop and do it like that (considering it 
doesn't rain and your laptop doesn't run out of power during that 
time :)). For Nikon (and for Canon as well probably) there are also some 
remote controls which have a setting for taking a picture in certain 
intervalls.

There was a cool webpage of someone doing HDR Timelapse photography with 
a moving camera. He had mounted the camera on an electrified telescope 
mount and could control the camera as well as the telescope mount. I have 
to search, if I can find a link.

Ah, easy to find :). Here it is:

No, I mean... High-speed photography requires specialised equipment. 
Time lapse only requires a regular camera. So do time lapse [of 
something else].

But since you comment... take a long exposure of a night sky, and you 
get quite an impressive effect. Ever see those photographs with 25 
lightning strikes in the same image? Long exposure. Several flashes 
captured in a single frame. (This *also* requires special equipment, 
mind you...)
