14. Perseid Meteor Shower Failure
1 year ago
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park was rated highly among best places to watch the meteor shower and I'll somewhat agree, however, it was not a great place to photograph it. To say that the perpetual stream of airplanes didn't ruin my night is an understatement. Oh well. I might try to go and batch process these to try to make the meteors that did show up in frame pop more but I probably won't because everytime I see this I am reminded of my disappointing night.

But it was also the first time I captured rotating stars/clouds in a 5-10 min long exposure..Im happy. (Just wait for Leonoids in Nov, those are more impressive)
This is different. It inspires me to try the technique for myself. So you have suceeded ph dee, not failed. Thank you.
you may not have gotten the desired timelapse you had been looking for but the capture of the night sky itsself is pure class
thumbs up from me
What music is that, by the way?
The music is from "The International" Soundtrack. The track specifically is track 04 Wexler Meets The Consultant.
The video is made up of 500+ still images. Each image has been exposed for 30s @ 20mm f/2 ISO 1600. To capture the images back to back, I had the shutter depressed using a timer remote and the camera set in continuous shooting mode.
I used a shutter release with shutter lock ;) I was using a chinese knockoff of the tc-80n3 but you could definitely go simpler.

p.s i live in the middle of no-where in mid wales and have zero light poloution, had an amazing view of the sky, was out all night watching filming, ufo's planets but very few meteors! i think they got the planet wrong on the news!! ;o]
Nicely done. Can you share your exposure settings please?
now you know the airplanes route, and you can take those bastards down!
