What a Beautiful Night shot you have taken!!! I didn't realize (or just forgot) you take photos at night also. Thanks for sharing and building my confidence in night time photography.. I saw you post this yesterday but just couldn't get into posting anything at the time. It wasn't the best of days.

I will share a few photos and I'm still working on getting it down to a science. Hundreds of pics later and many a delete of entire folders later. I get a few that come out good.
I think the brugs with yellow to orange color blooms really look like they are glowing when I use a 6V flashlight. I place the flashlight in a regular plastic grocery bag. The white or milk colored ones work best for me. This softens the light from the flashlight.
You also need a tripod, patience and knowledge of your camera functions.
