Tracking firefly trails in the forest

One of my favorite websites to visit, FlowingData, has posted a piece on Kristian Cvecek tracking firefly trails in the forest.

Physicist Kristian Cvecek hangs out in the forest sometimes to take these beautiful pictures of firefly trails, using slow shutter speeds on his camera. Even better than the long exposure shot of a Roomba.
