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:

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

Firefly processing secrets ,-)
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: http://quit007.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=scrapsOne of them is a shot out of cam at ISO 3200 and the other one showns an averaged image over 18 such exposures.
New firfly pics from summer 2010
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...
Guy with blinking firiflies
Thanks to a discussion at reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/cylla/fireflies_in_the_woodslong_exposurea_gallery_full/) I found out that there was a guy who photographed blinking fireflies in 1997:http://www.amazon.com/Gregory-Crewdson-Fireflies/dp/0970909055(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
