I know I'm being pedantic but aren't all pictures of meteors by accident?
They're not necessarily accidental (for example, taking long exposures during a meteor shower), but yes the vast majority of meteor pictures are by chance. A few meteors have been detected just before entry and photographed but that number is in the single digits.
