Mini photo challenge

[Jemmind]

This is something I am going to try this weekend; and I challenge anyone else to join in. It will be fun! Here is the challenge:
To capture an image (macro) of a lightning bug as it's lighting up.
I have never seen a photo of this and I bet it will be very cool.
I hope some people will join me on this!

OK - this is as good a chance as any to ask the obvious.

How do you get the little fellas to pose for the camera? :shock: :shock:

Ummm... I don't think we even have any here, so I'm out.

Are they in Colorado? That is where I will be next weekend.

That's because their little batteries run down very quickly!

I live in Georgia, they are everywhere down here. just look for them lighting up. Very Very easy to catch. The hard part will be getting a photo of them. Might have to use bulb mode? Most lightningbugs or fireflies as they are also called are found east of Kansas.
Well I'll see tonight or tomorrow night how it goes.
