[Martin-O2]

Hey guys,

I wanted to share this fantastic set if images from the 2016 Weather Photographer of the Year competition run by the the Royal Meteorological Society and The Royal Photographic Society. The images are the finalists for this year’s competition.

You can see the full range of finalist images using this link. I’m a big fan of nature photography in particular, what about you guys? What sort of images do you find most pleasing to the eye?

Well here's a quick shot from the perseids last night, tonight is peak so should offer more chances.

Great picture @viridis. I hope it stays clear tonight for more photos...

Love it @viridis! How many more nights is the meteor shower on for? 

[viridis]

About a week more with peak tonight

Awesome I'll keep an eye on the sky later. Please do share any further shots you got

If you look a bit above the tail of the larger meteor, you'll see a star surrounded by blurry area,
