Perseid Meteors over Ancient Bristlecone Pine

For the Perseids I headed out to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains of California. The oldest trees in the world are quite impressive.

 

This is a composite shot of 73 meteors I found in a time-laspe I was shooting. I aligned the meteors as they were captured according to where they were against the stars.

 

Huge thanks to Wayne Barsky (flickr.com/lightismight) who happened to be shooting nearby and let me borrow an extra intervalometer after both my time-lapse dolly and intervalometer had broken. Without that, this shot would not have been possible!
