Here's a composite of the Geminids I captured on camera last week (attached, larger version below):

Two of brightest meteors I captured on the night weren't Geminids (attached). Their directions pointed nowhere near the radiant of the Geminids.
I also put together the time lapse frames from the hour leading up to dawn into another short video (7 MB):

Highlights include another couple of bright meteor trains (bottom-left corner at 5 seconds & just below centre at 8 seconds) - different to the ones previously posted (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=100845), numerous Geminid meteors, and many satellites criss-crossing the field. It's a busy sky up there!
