The Perseus meteor shower is scheduled for November-13th. It is said that the late night of the 12th is the peak of the activity.
If you take a picture, you can prove that I saw it.
That said, if the smartphone is in the air, it's not easy to get a picture.
Next, let's tell you that you should know when you put the magic of meteor showers, meteors and comets in your camera.
1. A tripod is necessary.
If you want to shoot something like a meteor that disappears instantly, it's impossible to rely on your own hands. A meteor will flow overhead at a violent speed, so a tripod is needed to actually put it in the camera.
Photographer Aysia Marotta, who lives in Brooklyn, New York City, explained: "[tripods] are necessary in shots of shutter speed deceleration." It is said that it is better to wear a tripod to interfere with the shooting of artificial light can not reach, remote places.
two。 Use a wide-angle lens
For people who use cameras instead of smartphones, Mr. Marotta explains the basics of shooting as widely as possible, please refer to.
Even if you are not familiar with camera terminology, refer to the photos taken by Mr. Marotta and you will find that you can get great pictures by holding down basically.
3. Use "infinity"
Another point, what Mr Marotta suggests is to use infinity. The scope of focus is expanded to the maximum. The sky is boundless, so I want to put as many things as possible in the camera.
The website "Money Maker Photography" introduces infinitely far.
4. Get to know the subject
Another useful focus is to understand how meteor showers and related phenomena occur.
Selling his own beautiful night sky photos, Chris Westphal, an amateur photographer who lives in Florida, advises shooting under "unobscured things, that is, dark skies free of clouds, fog, smoke, etc."
The meteor usually flows from the 'radiation point' near the original constellation of the meteor shower name, so shooting near it will be smooth, "Westphal commented.
For example, the event constellation meteor shower, especially the meteor shower named after the constellation "constellation" clearly visible in the northern sky in summer.
In the case of this meteor shower, the brightest star on the throne, "Baiga", is what Mr. Westphal calls the "radiation point", which provides us with the brightness needed to photograph meteor showers flowing through the night sky.
According to the website Space.com, Becca usually finds it "directly above the night sky in the middle of summer in the northern hemisphere".
5. Shoot on a smartphone
Although you want to photograph the beautiful starry sky, people who don't have a camera don't have to worry. Whether it's iPhone or Android, there are many ways to shoot with smartphones.
Tom Peet, a manager at Repair Outlet, a British mobile phone repairman, also said that like Marotta, tripods and wide-angle lenses are necessary. In addition, if you use a smartphone app, you can shoot meteors beautifully.
However, the smartphone camera is excellent, but after shooting the night sky, it may not be an ordinary digital SLR.
Peet told Lifehacker in the United States that in order to power up the smartphone camera slightly, it is OK to use an app that has been exposed for a long time.
And don't forget to turn off the flash and HDR functions.
There is no point in using a flash to shoot in the dark, and the use of the HDR function will cause many other problems. This is how Peet explains it.
Whether you are using a camera or a smartphone, take as many photos as possible. And please don't zoom in. Because I want to shoot the sky as wide as possible.
