Blazin' Persids (Series)
DESCRIPTION
This entry was shot in Kings Canyon National park of the eve of the Persids meteor shower.
Surrounded by beautiful Pine & Sequoia trees, they made the perfect foreground companion only to compliment the milky way cresting over the horizon.
The shots with multiple streaks of shooting stars were the culmination of multiple frames taken throughout the night and compiled as a timelapse movie of the event.
These frames were then created into a movie and a 360 degree picture for viewing in a VR headset.
I hope you enjoy seeing these Persids as much as I enjoyed capturing them!
