the rise of the fireflies

I still find this difficult to capture. It's in between storms here, so I took the chance of capturing fireflies as the night fell. I managed to get one with a nice trail. Best on black background to capture the mood.

Magical!

Indeed, magical! And how did you make the glow appear even brighter and longer than in reality? Fireflies in Evanston have much dimmer light.

I agree with April and Junko Y - this is just magical and so serene! Fav

You captured such beautiful nighttime tones and the amazing light trail of the firefly looks tough to catch but you got some of it. Nicely done!
