After a long year of waiting for the Perseid meteor shower to re-appear, it clearly paid off. I went for the “finger on the shutter-button” approach the other night. I stood still for 2 1/2 hrs. to try and capture a few of the flying fireballs shooting across us over Gloucester. This was the first one, and the best one I managed to capture. I had hundreds of “trigger” practice shots before this one, so I felt ready. Usually it’s a miss, but this one just seemed to happen just in time. It appears on the screen just like it looked to the eye, a big fire filled green flash! I shot this on a Sony EV Z1, with a Sigma 24-70 f2.8 lens. Exposure was set for 2 seconds, so you can imagine the nerves trying to snag a shot. You can see the amazing aurora that was happening that night on the right side as well, taken Aug. 12th, 12:08 am. The medeor is traveling left to right, the green is picked up as the tail.

Mark Leonard, husband of his loving wife Julie were always together. Mark had with an infectious smile and he will be missed by his many many friends around Gloucester. We are thinking of his wife Julie and daughters Ashlee and Allison and we will post the information for services once we hear.
