Sitting outside by the campfire in Arapaho National Forest the other night, I decided on a whim to try my hand at astrophotography.
All in all, I don’t think they came out too bad. I do regret not cranking up the ISO and not using a faster shutter speed. Nevertheless, I am happy since it is my first attempt and I even managed to capture a few meteors from the Perseid meteor shower.
