Himebotaru (Series)
DESCRIPTION
"Himebotaru" is a small firefly about 6mm long living in the forest.
On a summer night, they fly with light.
I have been researching the firefly habitat for seven years and taking pictures.
The shooting location is 10 to 30 minutes by car from my house and I shoot every night in June and July.
All photos are taken with a single shutter and are not composited.
