Wow. You guys really weren't busy today! Only two pages? :D

Lonnie? Anyone have advice on shooting meteors? I will do a long exposure but not sure on settings. I am doing a quick search now

Well, this is how I would do it. Get away from the lights of town, first of all. Use a sturdy tripod and point the camera away from the moon. Since the moon is still pretty close to full, there will be a lot of light in the sky, so I'd start at f/8 and 10 minutes, checking the shot on the LCD and adjusting the exposure time accordingly for subsequent shots.

Meteors are pretty fast, so I'd probably be adjusting that exposure time down as I fine tuned, so they show up against the star trails a little better. You might be able to get away with only a couple minutes, but you still want enough time to properly expose the foreground also. Be sure to find an interesting foreground to play the stars and meteors behind, by the way...

I'll bring my camera gear to work with me, but I don't know if I'll get a chance to try my hand at it. I can't get away from the city lights, anyway...


My name is Lonnie, but I answer to Thomas too.

Having been out all day, I'm too tired to stay up too late, I'll go out for a bit of star gazing, but not going to attempt to shoot anything. This is one of the best shower to watch, however. The moon will be a factor allowing only the brightest to be seen.:( From what they were saying on the radio cutting down the number visible in an hour's time in half.

TPBM is an unusual creature you've encountered.

Wish I could get the spider that has been building a web everynight outside our garage. Unusual, to me anyway, because it builds a huge web which is gone in the morning. Then when we have been coming home at night it is back building another one. His body is about the size of a dime. Looks like what we called as kids, a garden spider. Oh, to have a ring flash unit and more practice with the tubes.:)
