    Hey all,

    Does anyone have any advice for shooting at night during the meteor showers? Is anyone going up the mountains?

    There won't be much to see until after midnight I think. A tripod and long exposure might be your best bet.

    I was thinking bout getting out aswell, but from what I can see there's a lot of cloud over the country tonight, so dunno if we'll be seeing much. I think i'll stick to the back garden!

    Tripod and long exposure, real long exposure. If you have a timer possible go for 15/20 min exposposure, or stick down the shutter button in bulb mode, if you dont have a timer.

    If you were up the mountains there would probably be no other light source than a meteor, so you could just leave the shutter open until you see some meteors pass through the frame. then close the shutter.
