Milky Way and Meteors in JTNP

[AaronRashid]

On Monday I decided to make a quick trip up to Joshua tree to get a few Milky Way photos. I set up at this spot right after sunset to shoot a Timelapse and this was one of the frames that was captured. I remember looking up in the sky, hearing my shutter click, and bam! Two meteors, one right after the other flew in, and this was the result.

This was taken on canon 6D Mark II with 24-70mm f/2.8L lens. Shot at 24mm for 20 sec at f/2.8, iso 2500 and edited in Lightroom.

All comments welcome!

Timing is everything and this is a great example of that. Neat catch. I like the way you framed this scene.

Very well done Aaron! You picked a great tree to feature! Getting 2 meteors in one image is awesome! And then to actually see them streaking by eye, and have your camera facing the right direction and capturing them? That's a great bonus and I know always feels good.

Can't wait to see the time lapse.

Nice one Aaron, the meteors really add to this image.
