Brian Hockenstein,
in a warming cabin on Brandywine Mt. in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada
Aug. 13
This photo, taken with a Nikon 2020 on 400asa Fuji print film, is a composite of 2 images: one with the meteor (10 sec exposure) and one with the foreground and stars (15 minutes). This was my first shot of the night and I got so excited when I saw this meteor, I closed the shutter too quickly, not allowing time for the forground and stars I desired, thus the neccesity to combine 2 shots. You can see the glow of Whistler Village in the bottom right, as well as several red lights that belong to various grooming machines and chairlift stations on the number one ski resort in the world. |
