Geminid Meteor Shower
Stayed up til' 3am freezing my tail off in 26* temps to get what I could. I saw some absolutely amazing ones shoot through the sky. Bright, long tails, yellows, greens, blues.......been a while since I've seen such an impressive show.
Anyway 2 hours of shooting, 300+ frames, and 2 run-ins with the cops - here are a couple of the 8 I managed to capture, as well as a startrail where you can see a couple of them in it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...ps2fae4867.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...ps8f55b1c1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...psc6cbe3b7.jpg damn airplanes..... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...ps18397c65.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...psaa7ecdf4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...psc8a5ada2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...ps7c1423c9.jpg Blue lights! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...psf55c41ba.jpg |

what did the cops want to know? why you were standing outside all by yourself on a dark night? |

Thanks. I saw just a few early in the night and forgot to look out when I was up in the middle of the night.

I didn't see any.

I saw 4 in about 45 minutes.

Excellent ! I tried, but only got a couple of airplanes going through my frame.
What were your camera settings and equp. ? I set mine up on a cable shutter release. I let it shoot till the battery died. It shot from about 10pm - 12am. My only fast lens is the 50mm 1.8. So, probably not near wide enough. I think my ISO was at 800. Should have bumped it too, I guess. Focused to inifinity. I saw several with my eye, but didn't capture any. |
Cool pictures. :seasix: On Friday morning, I was headed west on I40 in Tennessee and saw a few meteors.

I've got a 10-20mm wide angle that I shoot with, set to infinity. Quote:
