Default Geminid Meteor Shower
Hey guys, here's my experience of the shower. Take a look at this link here: My Geminid Meteor Shower pics

I don't have the images online except on my blog. Enjoy the read. It's worth it!

Although I'd love if you would check out the site and blog because it took a while to write up here are some images to preview what's on there:

I just saw one shot with a meteor looks like but it's small for the eyes so can't really tell much about it . Is there a reason you can't post a picture here on the forum and in larger size ?? You might get more comments and it will help me see it better .

Great series! I'd love to experience the Aurora Borealis like that. It's been many years since I've seen them. Keep up the great job Don't let the wolves get you & don't freeze those fingers. Thanks for sharing. Nicely done blog also.

Thanks , nice shots . Were the highline wires in the shots purposely or was it a no choice situation ?? You might try next time to avoid highline wires as much as possible . They really distract an image .
