Green Fireflies Night Landscape Bethel New York Canon Ra

Summer in New York brings one of nature’s most magical night displays — the glowing dance of fireflies. On this warm July night in Bethel, New York, the woods were alive with thousands of green light trails flickering under a crystal-clear, starry sky.

This image is a time-lapse composite created from multiple short exposures taken with the Canon EOS Ra astro-modded camera. The combination of fireflies and a quiet summer landscape creates a peaceful yet vibrant nighttime scene.

  • Lens: Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM
  • Aperture: f/2.8
  • ISO: 12,800

The astrophotography-optimized sensor of the Canon Ra helps capture subtle green trails of the fireflies while preserving faint stars above. Stacking multiple short exposures reduces noise and reveals a fuller picture of their delicate light patterns as they move through the summer air.
