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.
