When we finished the basic preparation, letEUR(TM)s step into the next chapter: how to choose the camera equipments.

1. The choice of cameras
A good digital single lens reflex will bring you great effect. Such as 5d2, 5d3, d700, d800, d4, 1dx. They all have the high ability of controlling of high touch and the controlling of noise; get the high quality as well. The digital single lens reflex for new learners, such as the 650d, d5100, d90, d7000, etc., can also take pictures, but the quality of pictures is worse.
2. Make use of the high speed wide-angle lens
The scale of the shot should be at least 24mm, the best is less than 20mm, and the fish eye lens is also OK. The lenses have more possibility to seize the meteor. The beat situation is to fix focus. Choose the biggest aperture and decrease 0.5-1 degree, so that use the biggest aperture as well as keep the quality of pictures. (Tips: the resolutions and color factors of night photography is different from the effect of day photography. It is not easy to distinguish.)

These little and bright miracle wonEUR(TM)t stay so long in the shot, so try your best to catch them. YouEUR(TM)d better choose the big aperture. Moreover, the meteor always appears singly, so use the wide-angle lens to catch chance one or more meteor.
3, Use the tripod and cable release
When we photograph the night sky, we cannot avoid to exposure long time, so the tripod and the cable release are essential. The timing foundation of the tripod and the cable release can prevent the camera from shock.
In addition, youEUR(TM)d better use the black-out cloth in the shot in case the bother of other light. Meanwhile, the shot is easily to condense, so, using the black-out cloth can prevent this from happening. If you use the hdr software and photo retouching software to dispose these pictures in the late period, the effect will be better.

Photographing meteor shower is very different from daily pictures which just need to press the shutter. In order to record the meteor which appears any time, we need long time exposure. How long does a picture need? For the fixed meteor shooting that has scientific value, five fifteen minutesEUR(TM) exposure is suitable. However, if you express your originality, there are no settled rules. You just need to consider the influence of the surroundings and sky. In order to better the effect of the picture, you use the photo editing software to add photo er online on the picture.
