Fireflies in my backyard

by Josh Nickerson on July 5th, 2009

I was watching the fireflies and decided to see if I could get a nice shot… Not having the right equipment for low light photography, I set my cam to a low shutter speed, the end result looked more like day depspite it being very dark out, so these pics have had the contrast tweaked to bring them back to night.

    awww that’s cool. Makes me remember summers in Oklahoma when I was around 8. We’d put those things in my grandmother’s canning jars. I didn’t realize the light they make is kinda green huh??

    Yea, its a very very pale green, almost white really. But making the BG night while attempting to restore the photo, it enhanced the glow strength and color.
