How to shoot lighting bugs When I try to take pictures of lightning bugs with my Canon 10D or with my Nikon N70, all I get are black photos. Has anyone tried or been successful with taking them? I live in a wooded area, and they look so beautiful! Thanks!

try setting your ISO to the highest possible setting. This will make your camera more sensitve to light. a high ISO setting will also give a more grainy look. Good Luck Peter

could you try placing the camera on BULB mode, hold the shutter open for a few seconds then allow to close?? This is how you can do fireworks pictures, and I kinda think ligtning bugs are a little bit like that (on & off)... it may be worth a try. I used Fuji Reala 100 on a few fireworks pics & used the above mehod & they turned out great! Not sure but it may be worth a try! Use a tripod too & cable release
