i can see you
This is a 2 minute high ISO exposure showing the firefly activity in my yard tonight - all the green dots and streaks are lit fireflies. This is the first time I've gotten anything close to acceptable, so I thought I'd share. LargeLink

Thanks - It's really difficult to get a usable shot because noise really starts to become an issue. I did this one at f2.8 but I'm going to try one with an f1.8 lens at some point to see if I can cut down on the exposure time/noise.

What a cool idea! It was fun viewing it at large size to see all the little dots of light.

Are you sure those dots aren't noise? :D.

So much for it being a Canon ;).
