Photographing the Perseids Meteor Shower in the SF Bay Area

I photographed the milky way and Perseids Meteor Shower at about 2500 feet above sea level nested in the Santa Cruz Mountains above the commonly occurring Bay Area coastal summertime fog. I also captured a beautiful sunset before the clouds gave way to the stars above.

Perseids Meteor Shower at Pinnacles National Park

I have long been fascinated by the idea of capturing photos of the night sky but have never really had a good opportunity to plan a trip to be in a dark sky location. Last summer, I headed down to Pinnacles National Park to catch the Perseids Meteor Shower.
