Not yet. I've uploaded it to a few different places (weather channel etc.) but they get that many pics you have to wait a while to hear anything from them.

| I'd love to take a pic like that but it seems that every digital camera I try, the flash seems to take 1-2 seconds before kicking in, therefore making it impossible to take such a photo. |

The only way that I can take pics like this is because my camera is able to be set up so the shutter stays open for 10 or more seconds.
Basically all I do is press the button, no flash is necessary as the lens is exposed to the light for so long. If there is no flash of lightning in that 10 seconds then I press the button again until I capture one. You must have a tripod to keep the camera steady.
Even though it sounds like not much work, it took me 160 photos to get that 1 perfect shot so you have to have some patience.
