Catch A Falling Star

After four years of trying, I finally, finally caught a meteor with my camera. With my Nikon D90 and a 50mm lens, I shot a 2.5 second exposure at f/1.8. Orion’s belt is at the top of the photo.
Ray and I got up at 4:30 this morning, made coffee and set up in the backyard. Sadly, the camera did not pick up how brilliant it really was.
This morning’s shower was the Orionids. There were several meteors in the sky but they were rather faint. This one, was not faint and the camera just picked it up.
This makes me very happy!
