We have fireflies?!? How did I not know this? Obviously I’ve been hanging around too many people who are NOT into the trekking/hiking/wilderness stuff I want to do… I’ve been missing out. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Ava T-B - yes these were done with long exposures. I am going to try a 15 minute or half hour one next and see what happens :)

Are these cool pictures done by leaving the lens open for a minute or two?
