RICK WHITACRE: PHOTOGRAPHING METEORS

Meteors are one of the more challenging subjects in night photography. With a lot of preparation and a little luck, however, you can come away with some amazing images. Meteors are random, fast, and appear relatively faint to our camera sensors. The key to meteor night photography is to cover as much of the sky as possible while maximizing the amount of light received by your camera sensor. This means shooting at high ISOs with a very fast, wide-angle lens. Many of the techniques for photographing meteors are the same as photographing the Milky Way.

When shooting meteors, you want your shutter to be open as much as possible during the night. This means shooting back-to-back images as quickly as possible using an intervalometer. An added advantage to shooting back-to-back images as quickly as possible is that you will be able to create photographs of single fireballs, composites of all the meteors, time-lapse video, and star trails all from the same set of exposures.
