Looking for Leonid

    Went out last night looking for the Leonid meteor showers and my first ever attempt at shooting stars. Unfortunately I didn't see many as I think I was too late. I saw four go by over one hour and that was about it. I did find my old bride, though!

      You got a nice shot anyway! I went out to look for meteorite showers, too, and saw a few nice streaks but unfortunately none in my viewfinder when it was being exposed ;-(
      They were too fast and not in the area where I was focused on. Will try again. Your photo is very nice.

      Nice shot. I thought about going out to see what I could capture as well but was feeling too lazy last night. :-)

      I think this a great shot, despite showers were not so heavy.
      A night shots are always difficult to expose but you done well !!

      Great catch! Love the light in the lower right corner, in particular.

      Very cool effect with the meteors, and nice that you were able to work in your favourite bridge.

      Very neat, I have a terrible time with long exposures but then again have not been too set on accomplishing them. You have done beautifully though!

      I like this one, the bridge is interesting and it left me wishing I had attempted to go outside.

      Very nice trails man.. killer glow of the city in the background too.

      Hi...you already heard about the "startrails.exe" software?
      Very easy to create nice trails with this freeware. There is also a flickr group...The key is to combine many high-iso shots - so there are much more stars visible and noise is no problem.

      Great shot in my opinion.. love the Leonids.
