Night Photography nominee

Arguably the best meteor shower of the year. I was fortunate to have clear skies during the peak activity of the Geminid meteor shower in Flagstaff, Arizona. Snow covered sunset crater shimmered with silver light of the moon just when it was 10 degrees above the horizon. And when it got completely dark, the sky was lit up with meteor shower in all directions. It was non-stop. It was incredible. The finest meteor shower I’ve ever seen.

They say life is best seen with eyes half-closed. For me, life is best seen with eyes half-closed on to my camera’s viewfinder. Through its lens, I see myriad images, shapes and colors. The unusual. The off-the-cuff. The waylaid. And the meandering.

I am Prashant. I am an Information Technology professional and a passionate photographer. My photo art leans towards Mother Nature, beauty of night, snapshots of travel to exotic places – both on the ground and on cloud.
