I predicted that I would spend most of the summer strolling around
the Lagoons and photographing plants, animals, and landscapes that
hadn't been out during the school year; but the sweltering one
hundred degree weather attracted swarms of gnats and mosquitos,
as well as crowds of fishermen from the city. Additionally,
having explored the Lagoons for the past year, the same scenery
is sort of boring to walk by. Still, to combat boredom, I've tried
to be more creative with the little photography that I've done this past month.
The other night I noticed that long exposures of a field can lead
to fireflies showing up in the photo. A clutter of trees by the
Lagoons was (literally) sparkling with fireflies, and the bottom
photo--although the computer darkened the colors for some reason--
is an attempt to capture that.
