With all of the talk of the Perseids meteor shower last week, I figured I'd try to get a photo or two. It was much harder than I ever expected. I only took a few photos, but they were all at least a 4 minute exposure. I was only able to capture one small meteor streak in all of the photos I took, and this is it. I won't be offended if you can't see it in the above photo :)

I am not overly impressed with this photo, but it was my first attempt at capturing a meteor. I definitely learned I'll need to bring bug spray next time, and also maybe a remote control with a timer. It'd probably be good to get further away from the light pollution as well.
