Details:
The close conjunction of Moon and Venus was a beautiful sight in itself, but as we are in the middle of firefly season, I attempted to capture both phenomena on the same image. I used an 55 mm f1.2 lens at f1.2 to capture a video (few minutes long) and take an image at f2 immediately after without moving the camera (a Sony a7s, known for its low light performance). I then extracted the frames from the video and stacked them so the flight trails of the fireflies appear as dots. I then blended this with the still image to achieve a good quality background and avoid the trailing of the celestial objects. I am happy with the result, I feel I could capture the atmosphere of that evening.
