I’m working on my night photography skills.  Tonight I dragged Allison up to Maroon Lake to watch the meteor shower and to take some pictures of the night sky. We only had about an hour of meteor watching before the moon came out. The moonlight made it much easier to make a photograph, but I would call the trip strictly a learning experience.

In a total of 2.5 hours, I tallied about 40 meteors streaking across the sky. Allison counted about 3 before she passed out cold.

But what a beautiful night…

    What fabulous shots, Al. Absolutely breathtaking. Wish I could have been there to see if first hand.

    That is so funny. I think Allison may come by falling asleep quickly from a parental gene. Sounds like a beautiful show that was going on in front of (one person’s) eyes!
