Leonid Meteor Shower Photos

[SSonnentag]

I tried my hand getting some meteor shower shots this weekend. I got a few, but was mostly surprised by how well the Milky Way showed up in the pictures.

Nikon D700, 24-70 at 24mm, f/2.8, ISO 1600, 30 second exposures

Here ya go.

LOL... I was going to overlook that slight detail!

Another great shot!

Beautiful! Even the first pictures were breathtaking. We sadly don't get night skies even remotely that clear around here.

Wow. More please!

The Milky Way looks surreal.
