Night of the Leonid Meteor shower. I witnessed only two or three meteors, sadly. However, I did get these nice photos of the starry sky.
We traveled a few miles out, not sure how many t be exact. The orange glow by the power light is due to a street lamp. Not many out here but we ended up next to one. This one is my favorite (above). I believe that is Orion's belt..
Aperture: 2.8
Shutter speed: anywhere between 15 seconds (minimum I used), and 60 seconds (maximum my camera can do).
Orion's belt much? I think it is...maybe not though.
ISO: I used 100 in the darkest pictures, 200 and 400 in the grainier photos.
Manual focus: set to infinity.
Camera used: Panasonic Lumix, DMC-FZ7. No tripod. Laid camera on the ground, facing upwards. Sometimes created angle by forming a little hill from the sheets we used to cover the ground.
