Nature’s Nightlights

Since moving to South Carolina, I’ve found that one of my favorite thing to photograph (and most challenging) is the brief annual appearance of synchronized fireflies. In previous years I’ve been able to photograph them in Congaree National Park. COVID-19 put a damper on that this year, as the park is closed until further notice. I was fortunate to hear about another location where the fireflies - which blink synchronously - appear not too far away. I’ve watched them the last few nights but wasn’t happy with any of the images I returned with. Tonight’s image is the best I’ve been able to produce this year, but (hopefully) they are just getting warmed up.
