I'm intrigued. Where is that, please? (If I had to guess, I'd say somewhere in Latin America, in the Andes).

Bernese alps, Switzerland, looking north just before thunder, lightning and heavy rain. The clouds are gathering camera side giving the background glow on the other lighter side of the mountains.
National Geographic here I come;-)

Am I right in thinking that the only way to get that is that you put your camera on a tripod, and then set it to a slow shutter speed? (That's a really cool photo).

You can get lucky in burst mode, but that shot is taken as a long exposure on a tripod. The main giveaway are the multiple strikes, but you can also see the star burst around the lights as a result of a narrow aperture used to increase the exposure time.

I shoot mine at between f16 to f22 and ISO400 to 800, basically aiming for a 25-30 second exposure. I shoot in aperture priority mode and manual focus, focussing at about 2/3rds into the scene, which is often difficult in low light. Sometimes I'll get caught out without a tripod, and I'll stick it in burst mode, and very occasionally I'll get lucky.
