I camped out at Catfish Lake. Prior to going to bed it was a beautiful completely clear sky, and the water was glass. I envisioned catching meteors from the Geminids shower with reflections in the water. Well when I got up after 3am to let the moon set, I found myself in thick fog. I could only see water right at the edge, and the sky was hazy/foggy. Well I started shooting anyway, and kept having to clean the condensation/fog off the lens. I captured a good 12 meteors in an hour, but this is the only one that was a nice fire ball with reflection on the water.
