On the last night everything came together. The weather cooperated. I had improved my method for focusing and composing in the dark with quick flashes from a powerful flashlight -- and I'd grown accustomed to insects on my face.
最后一晚所有的要素都到齊了。天氣也很配合。我通過一盞強力閃光燈的快速閃光改善了我在黑暗中的對焦和構圖--我已經習慣了臉上有蟲子。
I was rewarded with the image you see here. Each speck of light is one of several bursts that a firefly makes as it travels within a 30-second exposure. You can trace the insects' paths: Some make small loops, like those in the bottom center of the frame, while others move steadily in one direction or another.
我的回報就是你看到的這張照片。每個光點都是一只螢火蟲在30 秒的曝光時間內飛過時發出的其中一次閃爍。你可以追蹤這些昆蟲的路徑：有些在繞小圈圈，像照片中間下方的那些，而其他的則往一個或另一個方向穩定地移動。
The first time I visited the fireflies, I didn't have the pressure of trying to capture and convey this wondrous scene. I was just immersed and completely enchanted. That will always be my favorite experience with these luminous creatures.
我第一次看見這些螢火蟲時，并沒有要捕捉與傳達這個奇妙景象的壓力。我只是沉浸其中、完全陶醉。那次和這些發光生物在一起的經驗，將會是我最喜愛的一段。
