Trying to Catch some Geminids



I went out last night for a couple of hours to try a test run on some meteor catching. I managed to catch a single meteor using my D7000 and Sigma 10-20mm wide-angle lens. It's fairly faint in the photo, but it was REALLY bright visually. The Geminids peak this Tuesday morning, and I am planning to wake up very early and try to get some more images of this meteor shower. We'll see how it goes.
