Comment: Thank you Madhav. I used our regular tripod, first I rotated the camera for the fireflies movement, then I closed the lens in running exposure,then faced camera towards sky and captured steady stars. And yes here also in south Gujarat region you will get good numbers of fireflies.

Comment: Thank you Nevil sir for the input. Our whole life is school's science textbook. Learning everyday something new from the basics. This was fine foggy winter night, moon was fainted due to heavy fog. No extra glasses were used. It was little easy to maintain the moon's exposure. Those radiating rays are due to zoom burst technique.

Comment: Thank you Sarthak for your valuable inputs. Agreed with you on the contrasting colours. These are the lights of the fisherman's bike falling on the tree.

Comment: Thank you for the valuable inputs everyone.
Andres this is Terminalia arjuna tree commonly found in the forest of Dang (gujarat state). I don't know the proper scientific reason but according to locals this is the host plant of fireflies in this region.
Ganseh sir, Adithya now I also admit the brightness of sky is killing the actual glow of fireflies. But I confess I am very poor at the sense and skill of post processing. I will definitely try to reprocess with the path shown by you.
Nevil Sir no doubt this particular tree was really incredible and here first almighty gods creation is definitely laudable. Monsoon helped me here, this is bunch of five images. for the certain time I got clouds in the sky and I managed to take four images and then after suddenly clouds vanished and the result is here. I don't know weather this could be appreciated of not but I thought this wonderful phenomenon should be definitely share among all of us.
Thank you

Comment: Thank you Nevil sir. Let us go one year back when covid era started and lockdown imposed. We are the people who were thinking "Nature is healing". If we believe nature was healing due to pandemic why can't we consider this beautiful blinking nature as after effect? (Ps. My personal experience says past two years I have witnessed maximum numbers of fireflies in my seven years of fireflies experiences in Dang district of Gujarat state.)

Comment: Thank you for the appreciation Nevil sir.
@Ganesh sir this is due to the flare of forest fire lit up by locals for farming the forest land. This is one of the biggest dispute running between local residents and forest department in Dang Gujarat. Slowly forest is cutting down by the locals for farming purpose. There are no other activities rather then farming in this region.As the population grows, locals will continue to cut down forests for subsistence farming.

Comment: Thank you Ganesh sir for your inputs. The nature we are watching from our eye sight might be clear from our point of view. But are the birds or any other creature watches the same what we are watching? No, there eye sight is totally obscure for us. So we all are watching obscure nature according to someone's different view.

On the lighter note. That is not a nose that is the pinnacle of the mountain..

Comment: Thank you Prathamesh for the response. I am happy you caught my feelings of puzzle in this image, and so I have connected this with the mysteries of the other world. According to me probability is a science that is still unknown to us.

Comment: Thank you Anders. I have gradually shifted both focus and focal length at the same time for some hypnotic feel. And thus resulted this.
