Meteors

When I got out of the nightclub on Wednesday night/Thursday morning, the clear skies beckoned me out to shoot meteors. I went with a near choice so the 30 minute drive to Oughterard's old Glann Road was the one. After seeing George Karbus shot of the Cliffs of Moher from my favourite viewpoint, I probably should've gone with my first choice! Anyway, I saw tonnes of meteors and satellites. It was great to get out. I got an hour before the clouds formed around the lake and I headed home. Despite seeing loads of meteors, I was less fortunate capturing them, often seeing them as a shot finished. Better plans for the next time though. (aka a third tripod!)Here's a few I did get. The Milky Way looked great so if I get a clear night next week, I will be going to shoot it from the cliffs.20150813 Perseids 178720150813 Perseids 178120150813 Perseids 177620150813 Perseids 093620150813 Perseids 0923I20150813 Perseids 0932
