Glow worm by moonlight

.. is a bit tricky. The glow is actually a quite bright spot but doesn't cast a lot of light and the insect waves its tail around so long exposure doesn't work.

This at ISO 12800 1/8 f2.8. Maybe I'll try again if conditions are favourable tonight and try HDR.

Great capture Mike - I've seen glow worms but never had much success photographing them. Where did you take this?

I tried photographing one some time ago and failed!

Impressive Mike.

Fantastic I have never seen them in the UK but I have in France and of all places - Japan!

It would make my day to find one in my garden!
