(meteorobs) Hello from Nashville...
Hey everyone,
I'm typing from Nashville and was wondering if anyone else on this list
was in or at least near the Nashville area.
I am definately a beginner and have only been on the meterob list for a
few weeks, but I have a great facination and excitement about meteors
and comets and stars and galaxys and nebulae and... Well, you guys know
what's up there, now don't you!
Anyway, I was just hoping to meet some of you and get to know some
people. I feel like I'm the odd man out sometimes with me not knowing
all of the meteor-related jargon, but I'm trying to catch up the best I
can.
I am a photographer, and would love to hear some input on how to capture
meteors and such on film. I was intrigued about a topic of late
regarding a very wide angle lens and then correcting the converging
verticals with a computer I presume. I own an 8mm and a 20mm lens in my
35mm camera set-up. Would either of these lenses do the job? What
about exposure and film type?
These are just some of the questions that I would like to ask someone
without all the e-mail invasion.
Thanks!
