Silent Light 2016 Perseid Symphony 3

As I have described in some of my other night shots, shooting the night sky reminds me of listening to a symphony that starts gently as my eyes adjust to seeing and builds to a crescendo then fades as dawn approaches. I often want to clap (and do) in applause for the night sky's performance before I walk back to my tent or car.

 

While in the area I was for this shower, I did not see the predicted 200/hour rate, this shower was still pretty darn spectacular. This is the last of my 2016 Perseid composite series. 27 individual images covering an elapsed time of 2:29 stacked to align the radiant point in PSCC2015.5 and Lightroom. I used a Rokinon 14 mm lens. © 2016 All Rights Reserved
