Orionid Meteor Shower Last Saturday Morning (HD Timelapse Video) The Orionid Meteor Shower this year was a bit of a dud. I was shooting up at 11,000 feet in the White Mountains and ran my camera for about 4 hours, from 10:40pm Friday until 2:50am, well after the moon came up. To see how a much more active meteor shower looks, here's one of my Perseid Meteor Shower videos from the same location, displayed on the Discover Magazine blog, best viewed full screen: Perseids, Writ Large http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/08/25/perseids-writ-large/ I have a number of posts on my blog www.MyPhotoGuides.com * related to night shooting and timelapse videos. Here's one of the more recent ones building on those pasts posts: Create a Timelapse Video of a Meteor Shower http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/08/create-timelapse-video-of-meteor-shower.html I'm curious to see how an HD 720P video gets displayed on G+.

ReplyDeletevery beautiful !! I love it !!
ReplyDeleteCan you please tell me how this shot was taken? Is this a composite shot? Was the moon added later?

ReplyDeleteSaad Alvi On 12 or 13 days per year, usually the day before the full moon, the moon rises just before or during sunset. I was lucky to be waiting for sunset here in Yosemite National Park. The moon moves a lot from north to south during the year, so this alignment may be available maybe one or two days yer year. I've gone back to re-shoot this with my latest camera, and so far the weather has not cooperated. You can identify exact days and times for alignments like this using The Photographer's Ephemeris, which runs on a Google Earth satellite photo of the landscape you'll be shooting in!
