Great Basin School of Photography

I had my Canon cameras out all night Friday and Saturday, with my widest focal length lenses and for as long as their batteries would last, to capture as many meteors as I could from five meteor showers active in the sky in close proximity: the Orionids, the Leo Minorids, the Northern and Southern Taurids, and the Eta Geminids!  

The meteor shower action is from 2:18 – 3:42 in the video, and as usual, you'll best see the brief meteors if you select a quality setting of "720P HD" at the bottom of the player, and you also make the video go full screen.  (For licensing opportunities I can supply these clips in up to Ultra HD 4K video.)

I've included additional footage from nearby in the Eastern Sierra to accompany the stunning music by Life Audience: "Buddha Wears Headphones" from their Waves and Particles album.  You can listen to the other soothing tracks from the album on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/wave-particles/id427106760

If you'd like to practice night landscape and astrophotography yourself, follow my +Eastern Sierra Nevada Workshops and +Bodie Photo Workshops pages for announcements of upcoming workshops, and through the About section of my profile or via a limited share post to me, you can drop me a line to add you to my Night Workshop circle to keep you informed as well.  My next night photography workshop will Dec 12-15 during the Gemind meteor shower.

Thanks in advance for +1s, comments, +YouTube likes, and shares!  Your generosity and support is greatly appreciated, as it all helps me pursue this dream of capturing the world's beauty, and the special events of the cosmos, for all to see.
