The Geminids are the year’s most active meteor shower, but they’re not known for producing a lot of fireball meteors. However, if you’re out shooting them, you might still catch some! As the saying goes, “you must be present to win!” The trajectory of this one doesn’t point to the radiant point of the Geminids, so it’s probably from the Chi Orionids, with a radiant point just above Orion the hunter, which is known to produce fireball meteors.
Here are a few of my shots of the Geminids from recent years:

The moon was full for the 2016 Geminids, and the skies were cloudy as well:

Jeff now that is so fine. Nice work dear friend.
Nice
Thank's !
Awesome! Love the reflected meteor light on the water.
The perfect moment captured exceedingly well.
Excellent shot Jeff!
Amazing photo! I don't believe it's a "lucky" shot, I believe your vigilance and love for what you do payed-off in a big way. This really is a great shot!
I assume the seemingly growing size of the meteor is because of it's closeness to earth. I would love to hear why it (the meteor) gets so bright as it comes close to earth.
Un ovni
Did you catch two, there looks to be another one on the herizon.
Excellent capture
