Nikon D7000, Nikon AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR, 20 sec f/8.0, ISO 3200, tripod.

foresta di Rifreddo (PZ) - allora, finalmente dopo un'elaborazione "lunga e tempestosa" riesco a postare questo scatto, frutto di tanti tentativi sia da un punto di vista degli scatti veri e propri, sia da un punto di vista "teorico". come fare a immortalare uno degli spettacoli più entusiasmanti che esistono in natura, cioè le lucciole che sciamano? nel sottobosco vicino alla mia casa di montagna (un luogo isolato e fortunatamente per nulla inquinato) la "materia prima" ad inizio estate non manca :) il problema è tradurla in fotografia. dopo un sacco di prove ad orari diversi e con sfondi diversi sono finalmente riuscito (credo) a ottenere un risultato gradevole e soprattutto molto simile a ciò che si vede quando le lucciole iniziano a danzare. lo scatto è così composto: per lo sfondo uno scatto di 2" f/16 a ISO 100 verso le 8 e mezza di sera, con sole appena tramontato e luce ancora presente, sottoesposto poi in PP per dare il senso di atmosfera buia ma lasciando leggibili tutte le zone. poi una bella oretta di attesa (con macchina su cavalletto sempre nella stessa posizione) fin quando le lucciole non hanno iniziato ad uscire: di qui in poi sono 10 scatti da 20" l'uno a ISO 3200 e f/8 per cogliere quante più lucciole possibile; necessaria un'alta sensibilità perchè essendo intermittenti l'alone luminoso rimane impresso meglio. ho provato anche con altre combinazioni più "soft" con gli ISO, ad esempio ISO 800 e 2 minuti di esposizione, ma ogni singolo puntino risultava molto più "spento". alla fine ho unito tutto con le maschere di livello. questo è quanto, spero vi piaccia :) - 20 mm., 11 files RAW processati e miscelati con CS5

Lagheè, Ricky and Ildiora with the passage :-)

" so you have joined the click of the background and the other shots with fireflies right? "
right, at the top you can see for example those two "plumes" that go up here those are fireflies individual who left the path intermittently during the 20 seconds of exposure :-) of course for those in the foreground is the itself, some moved more other less, those at the top, however, clearly distinguishes the very precise trajectory!

" and how did you remove the background with night shots with the fireflies? "
um ... just for this processing is "long and stormy" as I wrote in the caption:-D photos with the Fireflies (very dark exceptct that the bright spots), I made a selection "summary" with the magic wand with bright yellow and tolerance about 30 ... and then I finished selecting for firefly firefly, one by one. some assuredly me are "lost its way"!

@ Ildiora: the idea was precisely that, for years now, and I admire it. finally with the camera at least I was able to catch them :-)

Noooo ... that hard work .... could use a simple method of simple fusion.
Overlap the two shots and funds lighten method and the game is over.
So you take the brightest pixels of both shots.

Beautiful!
I confess that the idea came to me (in my part at the beginning of summer, the raw material is not missing) ... but I was not able to make a shot like that.
Now that you have revealed the backstage try again with more enthusiasm.

Thank you and congratulations
