This was taken in the Medicine Bow National Forest near the Snowy Range and Laramie, Wyoming. My original location up in the Snowy Range didn't work because of lingering showers so I had to relocate. I wanted to be facing the northeast quadrant of the sky but with that failing for a number of reasons I pointed southwest and captured the Milky Way the meteors "falling" in that direction. I liked the way it turned out!

A fun shot from the meteor storm that peaked last night. I took a trip to Glastonbury Tor to meet up with Esen Tunar and we spent a few hours marvelling at the spectacle. We saw one mighty meteor go over head but didn't manage to catch it on camera, but I quite enjoyed the little ones zipping about on this image with the clouds skirling across the frame.
A truly amazing night, I hope you all got see some of them, there's another chance tonight if you've got clear skies :-)
This is a composite image made out of 17 different photos from the Perseid meteor shower on August 11, 2013.
It has 16 meteors that I captured during a 3 hour period at the top of Mt. Locke looking towards the Otto Struve telescope of the McDonald observatory.

The brightest I saw last night as it ripped through the atmosphere. I found the easiest approach was to set up facing north-east once I'd located Perseus, have a bit of FG and leave the camera on continuous 30 second exposures - here 2000 ISO at f4, 17mm wide angle - then hope for the best. Some appeared at all sorts of angles and often out of shot despite the widest lens I had!

My best Perseid meteor from last night. I did catch one or two other feint ones, which just goes to show never delete anything from your camera until you've seen it on the computer screen! Clearer skies forecast tonight so fingers crossed for some more!

I was hoping to get a bit more of a shower, but the mist, dew, and fog was too much. It did not take long for my lens to be covered in moisture.
I started to leave after the moon rise and noticed this nice view. I got lucky with the single meteor as it is only a 30 second exposure. There were a lot of meteors to see, but it was not the best place to photograph them. I was also a little surprised by the number of people at Pitt Lake. The road was a huge parking lot. People sitting in the beds of their trucks and on lounges. Most were gone by about 0200.

I went to the Ice Lake Basin near Silverton, Colorado to capture the Perseids this year. We had some good luck and caught some dark skies on the night the shower peaked. I was able to get 19 meteors in this 3-hour composite.
For the second night of Perseids I made a 9 hour drive to Dinosaur National Monument in hopes of finding clear skies and knowing I would find ultra dark skies. DNM did not disapoint. We arrived just after midnight and quickly setup the camera and the tent with millions of bugs and several bats flying around our heads. We watched the meteor shower from the safety of the tent, quite a memorable experience.
In all I captured 17 meteors over 5 hours. This is a composite of 20 images, the 17 meteors, 1 for the sky as a backrground (which I rotated the meteors to match the radiant of perseids) and 2 from twilight to brighten the rock and the foreground trees. I have the process explained on my website www.davidkinghamphotography.com/blog/2013/7/photograph-th...

This is probably the best Perseid meteor I captured during the recent shower. The photo was taken from the 6,525 foot summit of Lookout Mountain in the Mount Hood Wilderness here in Oregon. I wanted to make an interesting scene on the off chance that a meteor blazed through, and it paid off.
The tripod and camera on the ridge belong to the amazing night photographer Ben Coffman, while Gary Meyers was lurking just out of this scene with Jay Howard. It was a long night of shooting, and the results were actually pretty darn good. I can't wait to share a few more, but I have to find the time to go through and process them properly. I know Ben, Gary and Jay all got some great shots, as well, so there's plenty to look forward to.
In the meantime, I hope everyone enjoys the photo, it's not my favorite from this evening by any stretch, but it's got the best meteor so it's going up first.
Thanks for viewing!
Sigma 10-20 @ 10mm, f/3.5
30 second exposures stacked X 100
The bright streak at the bottom is the International Space Station. There is a meteor streak near the center of rotation.
Haven't had time to process yesterday night's shoot yet but there was at least one I caught at 2.00am this morning.
Well the hunt for some of the last Perseids the other night ended up with a sky that looked like it was on fire! There's so much light pollution from Chester and Liverpool it's unbelievable. After an 1hr it was pretty obvious those clouds were not for moving! So in true fashion and to annoy my wife, I nipped back to the car to get a few light painting gadgets out (she has no patience at all when I start messing with lights). Here's what I managed to get in my 1 and only shot (otherwise I would have been walking home)
This was also shot with my D90 as my D7000 is in for repair. It's confirmed that it has a manufacturing defect on the AF system. The shutter needs adjusting, exposure needs calibrating and the focusing system needs repairing. So if like me, you've tried everything possible to stop your D7000 from back-focusing, even to -20, get it returned and repaired asap.

Trillium Lake under a Perseid meteor and 30 minutes of a brilliant night sky.
This shot was made last night after I left Timberline Lodge and the Star Party there. It was fun seeing the telescopes and all of the people that came up to star gaze.
I met my friends Chip, Ted and Ben and Valorie up there. Ben shot a time lapse of the crowd milling around and peering into the scopes. That should be fun to see.
After the star party Ted and I went down to Trillium to see if we could capture some Perseid meteors. I was lucky to catch two of them, this being one.
I'm going to try to find the time to set up and get another Perseid shot similar to last years.

Have a nice day! :)

Here is my first try at time lapse, not really a success as i have got some humidity condensation on my lens quite rapidly, but i've been lucky enough to get few meteor.

Bright meteors and dark night skies made this year's Perseid meteor shower a great time for a weekend campout. And while packing away their equipment, skygazers at a campsite in the mountains of southern Germany found at least one more reason to linger under the stars, witnessing this brief but colorful flash with their own eyes. Presented as a 50 frame gif, the two second long video was captured during the morning twilight of August 12. In real time it shows the development of the typical green train of a bright Perseid meteor. A much fainter Perseid is just visible farther to the right. Plowing through Earth's atmosphere at 60 kilometers per second, Perseids are fast enough to excite the characteristic green emission of atomic oxygen at altitudes of 100 kilometers or so. via NASA ift.tt/2wW3dYE

The Perseid meteor shower peaked on August 12, 2018 in Nagasaki, Japan. It is my pleasure to observe many meteors with friends, but taking pictures of meteors is not easy.

I took this shot of the Milky Way off the top of Lookout Mountain in the Mount Hood Wilderness, Oregon. It was the middle of this year's Perseid meteor shower and I was getting a little bored with simply shooting the same spot in the sky over and over in hopes of capturing meteors. Lookout Mountain has a ton of beautiful Whitebark pine trees, and this specimen made a great foreground for a south-facing image. This is one of the resulting photos, and I hope you enjoy it!

A lone Perseid meteor shines bright despite the light pollution from the city of Nanchuan in western China.. Our 10-man group enjoy more than 300 meteors early this morning. The waves of cheering last all night .
Yep, another shot from here!
Spent 4+ hours here last night trying to catch the Perseids, we saw lots and of course all the best ones were out of frame, these are the few that I did get, some better than others.
Composite of 7 images, 1 for the windmill and 6 for the meteors. I've not moved any meteors even though it could help the shot, I may go back at some point and line them up properly.
ISO 3200 for the meteors and ISO 1000 for the windmill.
Windmill lit with a SB-700 speedlight to camera left at full power with 1/4 CTO.

The Perseid meteor shower is caused by debris from the comet Swift-Tuttle.
Every 133 years, the huge comet swings through the inner part of our Solar System and leaves behind a trail of dust and gravel.
When Earth passes through the debris, specks hit our atmosphere at 140,000mph and disintegrate in flashes of light.
