i always wanted to do this...but too chicken to get caught by lightning...or i'll burn to death!
by the way, this is a wonderful shot!
p.s. does a camera attract lightning (like a cellphone or a radio)?

Did you use a lightning trigger?
It's not the lightning I like in this photo, it's the shape of the lights from the buildings, Very cool.

ps: those lights reflecting off the clouds are from Toronto.

nope.
i just set it to the bulb setting and pressed it down whenever i sensed that a flash was about on its way.
