Ringo R posted:Anyone got tips on photographing fireflies? I went out tonight to try out my newly purchased cable release, wanting to do some long exposure shots. Then I noticed that there were quite a few fireflies around so I tried to photograph them but failed miserably. I had a 400D, Tokina 11-16 f2.8 and a tripod with me. The fireflies where just too small and did not emit enough light. After some quick reading on Google I will bring the 50 f1.8 tomorrow night and try a long exposure wide open. You're going about it the wrong way. You want to use long exposure on dim things that emit light constantly. (I.E. Stars). Try exposing at around 1 second or so. Fireflies don't emit light long enough that they would even really be picked up beyond that.
