What I usually do is face in the general direction of the radiant (in this case north) but focus my attention away from it. You will find the meteors all over the sky, some low to the north, some overhead, some moving to the east - they are radiating from the radiant, of course! As for taking photos, pick a nice constellation, like Orion or Taurus, and centre on that, then keep you fingers crossed that one or two go through the field of view.

Thanks for the Advice
