The "Geminid Meteor Shower" peaked yesterday night. It was a clear, cool and crisp night. I had set up my camera at my backyard to take continuous, long exposure shots. After the recent rains in California, it felt more like the real winter and it was a chilly night. Every 30 minutes or so I stepped out in to the cold and would have seen around 10 meteors streaking by with few very bright ones. Out of the 296 frames the camera took, 3 of them had the streak of a meteor. I am very happy with my score of 3 out of 296 :) This is my first attempt at capturing a Meteor Shower.
