This shot was made at around midnight. I used a 4 second exposure at

f/2.2 and ISO 100 to capture the light trails of the flying insects

attracted to the light. I used a very low angle (camera on the

ground, lens supported by a bean bag) to eliminate the glare from

the light, which was lighting a palm tree to the left of the image.

I also used an IR remote shutter release to eliminate camera shake.

In hindsight, i think a smaller aperture with a slightly longer

exposure might have worked better.

Many compliments, I love your idea! Great exposure!

Great idea, indeed. The result is very good. I think a smaller aperture would result in losing some of the traces. This summer I tried to capture traces of fireflies, at ISO 200, but to no avail. Nothing was captured on the film. I do not understand how somebody can give this a 4 ("average") for originality. Best wishes. Peter
