What way was the 'plane going L/B, "up" or "down" in your piccy?

Roger.

I fail to see how any aspect of the world around us is unworthy of any efforts on our part to photograph!

If animals, birds, leaves, sunsets, the human figure, street-life, anything indeed on this site, are legitimate subjects, how can meteors be excepted / dismissed as being unworthy?

Roger.

That's a super image L/B!

?

I don't agree.

Roger.

Thanks Philip.

I'm afraid I only know what I saw last night!
I have heard that, notwithstanding any photography considerations, the way to maximise sightings is to lie on a reclining sun-bed!
As your eyes become acclimatised to the dark, you see more & more.

Hope this helps.....

Roger.

Thanks, folks!

This was with K5 + 18-55 @ 18.
ISO 800, 30secs. @ f7.1(!)

When you consider...
the meteor in the image is as bright as the stars.
The stars were exposed for 30secs., but the meteor was there & gone in, what?, 1 second.
Meteor 30x brighter the individual stars!

Luck, as you say, plays a big part. Do you stick with the same framing, in spite of meteors all around but not in shot or move & see them flying through where you've just been.......?

Good fun though, & even if you get no images, the sight of these things is glorious!

(Pictorial comments more than welcome, L/B!)

A cropped & edited version of my shot on The Gallery, taken very early this morning.







C&C most welcome.

Any more Perseids images, anyone?


Roger.

Cheers, Alan.

Roger.

Thanks, Carl.

It was a bit breezy!

Wandering around trying to find a sheltered spot (or two!).
Then waiting until the waving around lessened....
then "SNAP!"

Sort of!


Roger.
