So, you must be back home now george?
Well, yes of course you are! Unless you've got a very long lens! ;D

Looks really nice there, george. Those clouds look menacing though! Some lovely shots of the coastline.  |

There was a terrific red sky tonight, but unfortunately the ironing had to be done, so I wasn't able to escape to Eshaness  ......If it's a good sunset in Sullom you can always guarantee a fantastic sunset in Eshaness. |

Can't help you there george. I've no idea how to photograph meteorites. Maybe bodbailey can help you though - I think she's been on some sort of crash course!!! ;D  |

You could also try this George. As a first try I would suggest you set up on a tripod and use the longest exposure, widest angle and smallest aperture you can, and a fairly high iso setting (say 400). The actual trails are quite bright but very short lived - we see them largely through persistence of vision. Try to get as far away from ground based sources of light as you can - these will only destroy the "night vision" of the camera for the shot. Choose a moment when a fair number of trails seem to be appearing and experiment! JJ Bodbailey has been happy to help!! |

now I'd better clarify it George, those weren't my words, but what I did was post the question on a fuji forum that I'm a member of and that was one of the replies I got. If only I had that sort of knowledge. Hope you get some good shots tonight.

Never work before breakfast. If you do have to work before breakfast, eat your breakfast first.
