Season’s greetings fellow fotography buffs. December is here already and Christmas is just around the corner. I hope you’ve all written to Santa and asked for that new lens you have always wanted…
If you are into your star gazing (or just generally freezing you butt off in the middle of nowhere) then there is what promises to be a very good meteor shower in the next couple of weeks.
The last attempt at a metoer shower ended in this orange shot of a fence, thanks to the sky clouding over the moment I had set the camera up.
According to the EARTHSKY website, the best time to see the Geminid shower will be December 14th and 15th and you should get as far away from street lights as possible.
I’m considering a wee trip to Loch Turret to get higher up too.
Long shutter speeds and wide angle lenses are likely to be the order of the day in an attempt to photograph this event, but I’ll throw in a couple of shorter exposures and see what happens.
Lets hope the sky stays clear!
