Massachusetts Meteor Captured in Cambridge 29JAN2011

I missed the movie I had been planning to see, so instead, I walked around Harvard Square with my camera and tripod taking some photos and I happened to get lucky with the camera in the right place at the right time. One in a million...

Here is a cell phone snapshot of the LCD screen of my "real" Nikon camera showing the photo of the meteor over Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA, at approximately 8:29pm. I haven't transferred the photo from my camera's memory card yet.


The photo is a single shot. It was captured with a Nikon D300. An 8 second tripod exposure using a 20mm prime lens at f8 aperture taken by Brad Kelly in Harvard Square 29JAN2011 at ~8:29.
