Fireflies near Todaiji Nigatsudo

2023-6-3

This is the season that flying fireflies can be seen at Todaiji, so I visited the backyard of the Temple. I saw them actually, but it was too dark for the SIGMA camera at the place. However, I could take photos of sunset of a clear day after a heavy rain from the stage of Nigatsudo while waiting 7:30 pm when fireflies start flying. (All photos taken by SIGMA sd Quattro H except the last one)

One day after the Todaiji visit, I finally successfully took a photo of fireflies at the river nearby. It was extremely difficult for me by the SIGMA camera. The color of their emitting light is not orange but green around here by the way.
