Spectacular images! You communicated your experience beautifully. And thanks for explaining how you created them. I so love fireflies and only saw one or two last year. Missing them...
These are fantastic! Last year I tried photographing fireflies with single long exposures and the results were lackluster. Stacking images as you describe is such an obvious answer! I don't know why I didn't think of that before, but I'm going to try it this year. Thanks!
I haven't ever seen blue ghost fireflies before and the work to get both photographed is amazing.
My attempt was back in Arkansas a couple of years ago when I attempted to find some that I could get closer enough to. I will have to see if I can find those.
Hi John, this post blew me away! I've been attentively photographing for a long time and enjoy this series and your meticulous process to create these gems. I almost hesitate to ask you to check out my work too (just started on Substack, lots of nature photography to come) and get in touch, but I did anyway. I subscribed too.

The window pic! 😍
They’re all amazing, I never given consideration to the work that goes into firefly photography.
Well done, John! The shots with the blue ghosts are especially amazing. Thanks for describing your process too! 👍📷
These are incredible photographs! Thank you so much for sharing!
