Glory without Glam (Celebrating July)
Fireflies. (Zoom in to 100% for the show.)
Even for a hardened calculating techie like me, this was one task that ended up enchanting me nearly every step of the way. I had to figure out how to do this with the post-processing software (Affinity Photo handled this in its stride) and the technique (success on 3rd attempt) as I did not find any special recipes with a casual search online. I'm choosing sharpness over visibility for the fireflies (exposure is not too high and no blur/ halo effect used).
The color casting for the background is added to help distinguish the critters from night lighting in the vicinity. Bicubic resampling and a high quality for the JPG format export was also necessary to keep the luminescence visibility.
