There are plenty of remote shutter/flash control toys out on the interweb. Lightning normally lasts about half a second or more for serious flashes, the current maintains the strike. If using a light detection trigger set the shutter for about 1 second to get it all.
Otherwise the open shutter, hope and wish system is the next option.

That is why decent lightning triggers can also set the 'half press' of the shutter button, so that it sits in that state until the lightning appears. It speeds up the shutter firing considerable in cameras that don't have full manual functions.
