The fireflies in my backyard are out in force this year. I set up two cameras to take a series of images of a pair of backyard garden gnomes from a distance of 75 and 200 feet to capture the firefly trails as they flashed during the night. The images were processed with Capture One Pro and composite created using Photoshop (scripts, statistics, maximum). Camera 1: Nikon Z9, 600 mm f/4 lens (ISO 800, f/11, 30 sec). Camera 2: Nikon Zf, 500 mm f/5.6 (ISO 800, f/11, 30 sec). Each composite used ~ 480 images taken over 4.5 hours.
