The key to getting good shots of meteors is similar to getting good shots of lightning.





Set the f/stop so when you take a 30 second exposure, the rest of the image is not much more than a dark grey. If you are shooting in an urban area, you will need to stop down to around f/16 or f/22 (if you have that option).





At least with meteors, you know what part of the sky you will be aiming the camera.Will i be able to photograph the meteors tonight with my samsung 7m.pix digimax camera,any advice?
If you can adjust aperture and shutter speed you should set the aperture as small as possible and the exposure as long as possible.
heres a link to a forum on this very thing.

It would be tough to get any decent pictures with your camera. This really calls for a large format camera and a very long exposure. But give it a try if you like. Set your camera on the tripod facine east, set it for your maximum exposure and f-stop, and trigger it sometime near dawn. Good luck.
