I’m not an astrophotographer! I’m very much a novice photographer who is learning how to capture and develop a variety of images.
With the Perseid Meteor Shower and camping in dark sky territory, I googled how to take photos of meteors…and snapped away. Well, I mean “tapped.” To prevent my camera from shaking, I set it up on a tripod and used the Fujifilm app on my iPhone to click the shutter. So, for three nights, I tapped the shutter nearly every twenty seconds for one to three hours each night.
For the first two nights, Nanine and I watched the meteor shower on our own. Last night, we met at 10 pm and clicked away until about 1 am.
Reviewing several hundred photos, I found the following to be the “best,” meaning that I find them intriguing.

Meteors! I learned that green meteor streaks are due to the minerals in the rocks.

Whoa thatās so cool. Those sure look like professional photos! Youāre getting very talented!
Thanks! The learning curve is steepā¦ Mine are quite novice, especially compared to ones others are posting in my photography groups! I am, however, having fun. š
Wow! These photos are amazing!
Ah, thanks, Ava! āŗļø
Lisa – been following your travels here and there. I really loved your meteor photos; they captured the event wonderfully. I went with a friend and my daughter Emma and her friend out to Stenner Creek Road and we got quite the show.
Thanks! Pretty amazing light show! Glad Emma and you saw it. ā¤ļø
