I was hoping to get lucky with a reflection of a nice bright taurid fireball but this one will have to do. About 550 exposures ,lots of meteors but only one that showed a reflection

Nice shot. I like the reflection in the pond.
Well done.
I have only seen one and it was a head on look that flared and died in one bright pinpoint. At first I thought it might be a flaring satellite but no other flares were seen.

Appreciate the kind words Jim, I've seen many nice meteors so far this year but have only managed to capture a few on camera ,, will try again tonite as this is supposed to be the peak of the Northern Taurids

This has to be one of the better landscape meteor shots I have yet seen. I love the use of foreground vegetation, with Orion visible in the background.

Well done keep them coming.
