Lauri and I decided to go out west of Fairfield to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower and try to get some images of the Milky Way/Meteors.
When we first got there and got set up, the moon was still up and the light pollution from it was pretty severe for about an hour after it set. Eventually it did get dark and we managed to get some good images of the Milky Way, but the meteors were elusive! We saw lots of them,but most were either outside the field of view of the cameras or were not bright enough for the cameras' sensors to pick them up.
This is my favorite image of the set with a little light painting. Fairfield, Utah County, Utah, USA, August 12, 2016. Nikon D90, AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 at 18mm, Manual Exposure mode, f/3.5 for 30 seconds, ISO 3200, processed in Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC.
