I am happy to announce that my first firefly movie is online and for all to see ;-) :

The opportunity arose Japan, as the fireflies were put free during a ceremony in a temple in Kyoto. Since the temple grounds were lit, i had a bright enough background for a movie.

Some time ago I was on a business trip to Japan and was able to add some days as vacation. During that time I was pretty lucky to see some ceremony in a temple Kyoto where monks have collected some fireflies beforehand and let them fly in the evening. Now some of the pics I took there can be found in my firefly folder:

Just wanted to let you know how I process my firefly images.
I uploaded two crops of an upcoming image I'm still working on in my scrapbook to show you how I reduce the noise: quit007.deviantart.com/gallery…

One of them is a shot out of cam at ISO 3200 and the other one showns an averaged image over 18 such exposures.

At last, I finished processing first pics from my from my nightly shoots of firflies from this summer. Hopefully, I will be able to show you some more in the day to come...

Thanks to a discussion at reddit (www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments…) I found out that there was a guy who photographed blinking fireflies in 1997:

(Since many of you are watching my site because of my firefly pictures I would like to let you know how blinking fireflies look like.;) )

I am not alone! :D
