Meteors are too fast

With the yearly Perseïdes swarm shooting stars at us I went to try to photograph those fast shooting dust particles. This is not an very easy task as they appear random in the sky and are very fast. Together with Bård we headed to the most southern tip of Langesund a bit after midnight and started looking at the sky. There were quite a lot of shooting stars, about one a minute, but I only managed to catch one on (digital) film.

I also tried to make a few analog pictures of the Pleiades, but it will take some time before those are developed.
