The view from the summit of Lookout Mountain in the Mount Hood Wildnerness is a real treat. It's quiet at night except for the wind, and you can see for a hundred miles in all directions from the top of the 6,250 (or thereabouts) foot peak. I was sifting through some summer shots because it's been extremely cold recently, at least for our neck of the woods, and I wanted to think of a warmer place.
West Pond, Parsonsfield, Maine.
Panorama view under the stars last light on West Pond.
Captured a couple of Perseid meteors as they entered the atmosphere buy they barely showed up in the images, I'm afraid that using a 4.5 wide angle lens just isn't going to let in enough light to capture these little streakers.
On The Top of Mt. Yarigatake.
Mt. Yarigatake is 3180m, and the one of Japanese famous mountains.
so, this is a miracle!.... i think.

Lucky enough to see the Perseids Meteor Shower (2015) on Thursday morning from the clear and dark skies at the Edgartown Lighthouse on Martha's Vineyard. This was the best shot of the bunch given the location of a meteor in the frame with the stars. The lighthouse is lit by some faint ambient light from the boats docked in the nearby harbor.
The 2015 Perseid Meteor Shower was spectacular from the Oregon Coast! I shot the meteor shower from Cape Kiwanda near Pacific City, Oregon over the course of three hours. I did manage to get at least one good fireball in the frame and even a really amazing glow on the horizon through the haze behind the haystack rock from a passing ship on the ocean. I was really happy with this composition and scene. Hope you also like it!
For this shot I blended a 225 second shot (ISO 1600, f/2.8) for the foreground and two 30 second (ISO 3200, f/2.8) shots for the meteors seen in the frame.
Taken August 13th. This was the last of the peak Perseid Meteor shower of 2013. John drove up to the top of Mt Hamilton and it was such a great drive. So great I almost threw up, but the view is spectacular.
Before getting kicked out, we had set up multiple cameras around the location and let it rip. However, the moon was really bright still and prevented us to see the stars easier.
This shot will be the last of the meteor shots of 2013 for me. The meteor shot over the 120ft telescope.
Enjoy and happy snapping!
The setting moon is lighting the clouds and distant mountains. Kachess Lake is soaking up the glow from the skies.
I came out to Kachess Lake a bit early to see the Perseid meteor shower, so what else to do but take pictures while I waited.

One of my favs from the night, but one of my 'worst' as well ...
fav because of the 'rainbow' colors in the streaker
(and I like how it went through the big dipper!)
worst because it was one of the first captures of the night and
I was only shooting jpgs ... not raw, so a lot of the nuances are missing : \
the later images were from raw files and have much more info.
I still like it though!

*Mother Nature and Father Sky, who are again this year are offering us a celestial show, the Perseid meteors.

"Saturday night and into Sunday morning August 11th and 12th we're expecting quite a meteor shower--upward of 60 meteors per hour during the peak!" "The Universe" on facebook
"The Perseids ( /ˈpɜrsiːɨdz/) are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle. The Perseids are so-called because the point from which they appear to come, called the radiant, lies in the constellation Perseus. The name derives in part from the word Perseides (Περσείδες), a term found in Greek mythology referring to the sons of Perseus. . . They are mainly visible in the Northern Hemisphere." wikipedia
Anglesey, Wales.
I made the four hour journey to Anglesey on Tuesday all in the hopes of capturing a Perseid meteor at this gorgeous well photographed location. The conditions were just perfect, clear sky and no moon. This has to be the best photo of the milky way I've captured here in the UK. There is very little light pollution which enables the camera to pick up details like the dust clouds in the galaxy. You can see them around the top of the lighthouse. I spent a good four to five hours shooting and managed to capture half a dozen meteors but this one stood from the crowd. I saw it streak down the sky as it happened which was a bonus. As the camera was still exposing I thought to myself "I hope it picked that one up" and surely enough it did. I booked the whole week off work this week to give myself the best chances of shooting the Perseids meteor shower. This shot made this week off work worth while.

A re-process of a previous image.
This one was from another camera set up looking toward the East. Mars is the bright planet near the center with the Milky Way on the right and a Mulberry tree on the left. This is a simple stack of most of the meteors I captured without any time-shifting.

One from Saturday night - an awesome night watching the Perseid meteor shower with two great people, fire roaring and plenty of meteors seen with the eye. Only had this one caught on camera though!
Composite image of Perseid Meteor Shower - 8/12/2016,
Somewhere between 1am-3am.
Thankfully clouds cleared off for a small amount of time and was able to capture few meteor showers.
Totally worth my sleep.

The Perseid Meteor Shower was peaking last night, and I spent three hours on the North Shore of Oahu in an attempt to capture the light show. As always, the most spectacular displays happened out of my frame.
I ended up seeing quite a few, but only managed to catch two on camera. It's *so* humid outside that it didn't take long for my camera to start fogging up, so I didn't shoot too long.
Definitely worth waking up at 3am for...although I definitely think I'm going back to bed now :-p
Someday I'll have a camera that doesn't puke noise when I barely touch my ISO *sighs* ISO 640 should NOT look like this...absolutely disgusting.
Details:
Personal best image of a Perseid meteor, I setup three cameras running and as luck would have it, I captured this meteor on two cameras. Very happy to have a closeup.

Info from Wikipedia:
The Perseid meteor shower has been observed for about 2000 years, with the earliest information on this meteor shower coming from the Far East.Some Catholics refer to the Perseids as the "tears of St. Lawrence", since 10 August is the date of that saint's martyrdom.
The 2010 Perseids over the VLTThe shower is visible from mid-July each year, with the peak in activity being between August 9 and 14, depending on the particular location of the stream. During the peak, the rate of meteors reaches 60 or more per hour. They can be seen all across the sky, but because of the path of Swift-Tuttle's orbit, Perseids are primarily visible in the northern hemisphere. As with all meteor showers, the rate is greatest in the pre-dawn hours, since the side of the Earth nearest to turning into the sun scoops up more meteors as the Earth moves through space. In 2009, the estimated peak Zenithal Hourly Rate was 173, but fainter meteors were washed out by a waning gibbous moon.
This was taken on the only clear night last weekend (Sunday of course) and includes a photoshop of the moon, taken 2 mins after the meteor shot. After several long exposures I was getting cold and was about to give up then I finally caught one!
I went out with Nan and Renee to shoot the Perseid Meteor shower. We had a blast and saw tons of meteors. They were brilliant to the eye though disappointing in my photographs. In this one you can see two very small parallel center right in the Milky Way. This one was taken at 9:45 p.m. when the Milky Way was arching, by around 11:00 it was moving more vertical in the sky. We stayed late as the Persieds peaked about 1:00 a.m.
