Day One Hundred and Sixty Six - Firefly


I've been planning to go out chasing fireflies for a while. The only problem is that they come out at the same time as the mosquitos. So when one flew into our house it was a perfect opportunity to get a photo of the day, without going out!

  3. Trade secret? Actually, the firefly wasn't well, it flew into the house to die I think. I put it on a clear photo filter and photographed it from below. It was generating light occasionally, and I used flash to light the body. The white spots are dust on the photo filter showing up in the flash. They are out of focus, as DofF is very short. I could clean them out (in photoshop) but I like the 'stars' effect they give. Of course, there's no way they could be real stars - that would be an incredible DofF!
