Thanks Paul. I was going to clone the long trail, but I figured it was
interesting if not attractive. But you're right in that it would be a
better photo without it.

Like this one a lot better than the first. The guy in the UR corner
is a little distracting because of the length of the trail and draws
my eyes away from the rest of the image. I'd consider cloning him/
her out.

Another great firefly show last night, and I again tried to capture
it on pixels, perhaps with a bit more success. I've found that
without letting the background go almost black, I get nothing. Of
course, it's not much of a picture if you can't see some of the
environment, so black and midrange work in post is necessary.
I'm shooting from about 50 feet away with a 60mm focal length to
compress it all, while avoiding a need for critical focus. Note
that the fireflies which move faster while lit have long trails. I
believe it's also a function of how close to camera they are. I
think that guy at top right was only about 15 feet away.
Exposure was f 13, 30 seconds, ISO 320.
