We have a few tall Loblolly Pine trees on our property. They have become a little more popular since the geese took over the osprey nest. Sometimes the osprey and eagles like to sit on the high branches and look for their next meal. Recently, an eagle pair were enjoying the view.
I stayed up to look for a few meteors. The night was quite pleasant with a soft breeze in St. Mary's County. Having no idea where to point my wide angle lens, I was taking a photo when I noticed a bright meteor a little more over to my left. It wasn't in the frame, unfortunately. Fortunately, it was close to the Milky Way, and that would make a nice photo. So, I moved the camera over and took some more photos. I didn't see any more, although I thought I saw some out of my peripheral vision. After looking at the back of my camera today, I could barely make out a small meteor just above the trees to the left of center in one photo. I don't do much night photography, so I don't own a good wide bright lens for thousands of dollars, so I just tried it out with what I have and the stars blurred a little.
For photo geeks here were my settings ISO 2000 21 mm f/6.3 30 seconds
