Long exposure photographs of Fireflies in the forests of Nagoya City, Japan
Via Strange Sounds, 11 June 2013 - For the last month or so photographer Yume Cyan has been shooting some magical long exposure photographs of fireflies in a forested area around Nagoya City, Japan.

By keeping the camera’s shutter open at a low aperture Cyan captures every bioluminescent flash of each insect resulting in dotted light trails that criss-cross the frame.

Eerie and magical, no?

You can see these a bit larger over on 500px.

Fireflies (or lightning bugs) are winged beetles which use bioluminescence to attract mates or prey. Fireflies produce a “cold light”, with no infrared or ultraviolet frequencies. This chemically produced light from the lower abdomen may be yellow, green, or pale-red.
