i. After dark fireflies create 'cold light' through a chemical reaction in an organ in their abdomen. Flash rates vary between species and with temperature. This behavioural phenomena is thought to have both sexual attracting and defensive functions. I was holidaying in rural Italy when lucky enough to witness a firefly display several evenings in a row. Capturing these intermittently visible moving targets in a photograph was a new challenge for me requiring experimentation principally with exposure & ISO. Location: Sibillini National Park, Le Marche, Italy. ii. Technical: Nikon D700, Sigma 12-24mm lens @ 19mm, 20sec at f/6.3, ISO 1250, table. iii. Processing: exposure, noise reduction, colour luminance
A little firefly made of paperclips, at ATtiny13 and an LED. It capacitively senses its body to determine if it is being touched, waking up every ten seconds or so on watchdog to do this.
If it's being touched, it'l start pulsing its LED gently, flashing a random number of times for a random duration each time before going back into a deep sleep.

Fascinating incite into the best city on earth.
Went firefly shooting lat night. out til 4am but failed to capture the shot I really wanted. It worked out well n the end as we found some great spots to hopefully try next Friday.
Found at Finca Las Piedras, near town of Monterrey in Madre de Dios region in southeastern Peru.
Presumably a firefly, Lampyridae.
Single exposure, moderately cropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
Backed these on Kickstarter and they came a few days ago - haven't tried it quite yet, but they look promising!
It's been a pretty hectic couple of weeks. I haven't had very much time for my poor camera lately. Job hunting, temp agencies, surprise birthday parties, a new baby sister being born, etc. Luckily today was calmer, and I had time for this photo. This jar has been sitting in our kitchen for a few days and I always think about catching fireflies when I see old jars like it. I am aware that my face looks rather bored, and it wasn't an accident. I am rather bored. Just waiting to find a jar with something exciting in it, like a job, or an available apartment. :P
The Sherman Firefly was a creditable British attempt to upgrade the under-gunned American Sherman with a gun which could take on a Panther or Tiger - the 17-pounder anti-tank gun.
