Fireflies!

I've photographed bioluminescence in plankton, fungi and glowworms before, but I had never photographed fireflies until this evening! Another photographer friend found these fireflies on the Gold Coast last night, so I went for a drive this afternoon to try and find them. To create this image I combined 4 x 10 second exposures with a 35mm lens at f/2 and 1600 iso. The species is probably Atyphella scintilans.
