garyb:

The reason why democrats are similar to republicans is because both parties are
mostly christians. I only vote for which party I hate the least. There is a slight difference. The republicans are a-holes and the democrats are pussys.

WOW...
really great shot.
tripod?

funny thing is that the picture visually gains a lot from the artifacts caused by a camera move during exposure. If it was on a tripod, it wasn't properly fixed

There are actually twice as much light dots than there were fire-flies, as you can tell by intensity and geometric displacement of the dots. [/blabla]

very charming pic, simply captures the magic of the light those bugs spread

cheers, Tom

no Huub, it isn't
the vertical displacement of the reflections would vary over the scene
they are all identical
some of those are clearly within the bushes
and finally - fireflies don't move their a** over water, for good reasons

sorry for the rational bs on an almost magical scene, Tom

sorry, you're right

stardust, you should Photoshop the 'copies' away...
