Did You Catch the Perseid Meteor Shower Last Weekend?

I assembled this timelapse footage form the 2009 event and posted it on YouTube, with links from Facebook and Google+, so people could plan to go catch it.  I was shocked to see 9 or 10 days later that it had over 85,000 views!

Later this year I’ll be leading a workshop to help people capture an even better event, the Geminid meteor shower, from Death Valley National Park.  Now you can produce results of astronomical proportions!  We’ll try to follow a mix of day and night shooting, visiting some of the unique locations I’ve found while writing a guide book to landscape photography locations in Southern California.  I’m also working on securing a space for classroom sessions, so we can include critical post-processing training.  As always, contact me for further details!
