Happy Accident
Cathedral Gorge State Park
Panaca, Nevada
August 2020

I’ve titled this image “Happy Accident” because in setting up for the shot I bumped my f stop from 2.8 to 3.2. I had a small LED light panel lighting the scene from the right-side set to its lowest level. A car came out of the campground which is about half a mile away and gave me some extra light on the rocks which worked perfectly with my LED light. Jupitar and Saturn are bright lights on the left side of the frame. Even though the image was shot during the Perseid meteor shower, I got very lucky with four meteors streaking across the night sky in my twenty second exposure.
