Perseid meteor shower
Two year ago, I did my first attempt to capture the famous Perseid Meteor Shower events during August. Unfortunately, at that time the entire Washington State was covered with smoke from wild fires and the viewing conditions for meteor shower wasn't great. Last year the Perseid Meteor shower happened to be in the same time as full moon, which wasn't ideal either. This year, chances finally come for me to try again.
The meteor shower peaked on last Tuesday night, but cloud coverage was too high so I had to wait until Wednesday night which had very clear sky. I went to Mt.Rainer National Park after work and came to this famous Reflection Lake. As night fell, I could start to see meteors every now and then, and several of them were really bright and lasted almost an entire second. WOW, what an amazing night to see Mt.Rainier with perseid meteors on the sky!
