Backyard Late Spring Nighttime Nature in New Jersey.

Firefly Trails. I had seen the fireflies in the Yucca flowers during the day so set up a camera to see them at night. Composite of 311 images (~156 minutes) taken with a Nikon D4 camera and 200 mm f/2 VR lens (ISO 400, 200 mm, f/2.8, 30 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro 8, and composite processed in Photoshop CC.

The amazing thing — the deer haven’t eaten the Yucca flowers yet!!!

Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

Yucca flowers starting to bloom — The deer haven’t eaten them yet. Image taken with Nikon D4 camera and 200 mm f/2 VR lens (ISO 100, 200 mm, f/4, 1/125 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro 8, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.

While taking the image a young deer walked up right next to me and then realized I was there. I may have to stay up all night to protect the flowers.
