Orionid Meteor Shower Last Saturday Morning (HD Timelapse Video) The Orionid Meteor Shower this year was a bit of a dud. I was shooting up at 11,000 feet in the White Mountains and ran my camera for about 4 hours, from 10:40pm Friday until 2:50am, well after the moon came up. To see how a much more active meteor shower looks, here's one of my Perseid Meteor Shower videos from the same location, displayed on the Discover Magazine blog, best viewed full screen: Perseids, Writ Large http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/08/25/perseids-writ-large/ I have a number of posts on my blog www.MyPhotoGuides.com * related to night shooting and timelapse videos.

ReplyDeletejerry hill I double checked, and all of the settings which would directly affect color were set to zero, except of course white balance. It was simply one of the most spectacular sunsets I've ever experienced. I wrote a blog post recently which touches upon the myths of "perfect exposure" and accurate color in photography: http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/08/its-time-for-digital-cameras-to-depart.html
