40-minute LiveComp of Fireflies and Star Trails

[luxBorealis-TerryMcDonald]

I made this at about 2;30am on Canada Day, 1 July, while in Fundy National Park in New Brunswick, Canada. When arrived at this location, not only were there a gazillion stars, the fireflies were overwhelming, so I simply had to include them in the exposure.

Wow that's amazing Terry. I like the overall shot but also really like it cropped to a letterbox giving the fireflies a bit more prominence. It must have been an amazing evening.

Thanks, Phill D. It was incredible, though I can assure you it is a 4/3 aspect ratio!
