2014 Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks Tonight!

Perseid meteor shower 2013


In honor of the 2014 Perseid Meteor shower peaking tonight, I offer you time-lapse clips from the 2010-2012 Perseids in the first 1:49 of this video (soundtrack used with permission).  All of the footage in it was compiled during my travels in recent years.  I hope that you enjoy it!

Here are some images from several nights of the 2013 Perseid meteor shower:

  1. Thanks for sharing! added to my blog, went perfectly with my thoughts. Too early to be up doing this but I suppose the stars were calling.  lol  Have a blessed day, I know you blessed mine. 🙂

  2. +Nadine Kieff  No ads = no budget = no travel = no more videos.  
    Very few of my videos have ads at the moment, but I'd like to increase my travel budget to produce more videos, so the ads will probably increase over time.  Unfortunately what you like to receive for free over the Internet is not actually free at all to produce.  My last trip cost me over $1000, and this video was produced from many trips over the course of 3 years… probably over $10,000 in travel costs to recoup.  
    In the case of this video, my "monetization" setting is off, any ads served with it are the sole decision and responsibility of YouTube.  It's sad that Google is happy to profit off of my work without sharing the revenue.

  3. +Tibolt Gueris  I was up until 2 am and the clouds here never cleared, so unfortunately although I was able to capture some footage yesterday morning, I was unable to shoot more last night.  Although the peak was last night, the meteor shower will continue for a few more days, so I will probably still try to get out and see what I can capture.

  4. +Tibolt Gueris  Just saw your two comments, which were apparently auto-flagged due to the unrecognized stream of characters "bitchenetwor " in your first comment.  Most of my night footage is shot in the Eastern Sierra due to the minimal light pollution.
