A few days ago I posted a photo I've called "God's Flash". After reading the comments I've decided to post a step-by-step. This is how I do it, but others may have different or better(?) techniques.
1- Camera on tripod
2- Set shutter speed to BULB
3- Open the shutter until you see a flash, and then close the shutter.
4- Repeat steps 2 and 3 as many times as necessary.

NOTE: I'm of the opinion that it's not a good idea to keep the shutter open for a really long time as the sensor heats up, which makes for noisy images. So, I have made it a RULE OF MINE to close the shutter after about 30 seconds. However, as often happens, a bolt will happen the split second AFTER I close the shutter. So, it's try, try again.
Hope this helps and show us what you get!
