20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Twinkling conversation
Under a starry night while capturing the star trails from the northern hemisphere I encountered with a twinkling firefly crossing the frame . The tiny yellow light trail in the frame is the flash from the firefly as a mating signal for the females or to ward off from predators as their behavioural tendency. I was fortunate to capture both the wildlife & astro in a single image.
