Summary[edit]

Description

okay, this one was cool. I was taking a bunch of 10 second or so exposures, and sometimes there'd be lightning in the interval. that makes for a cool enough shot.

but on this one, I'd just moved the camera to get a different angle on this storm, and pushed the shutter and saw a meteor.

I thought: 'ooh, I hope that got in.'

it took me a while to find this frame amongst all the ones from last night, but when I saw it, I got a little tickle again.

the meteor streak is at the upper left of the cloud. not the best pic, quality-wise, but you can't exactly pose these things for a reshoot.

as a bonus, there were several lightning flashes, one of them quite big, during this same exposure. not that it matters, but the big one happened just as the meteor was going by.
