Just wow! Red Sprites by


Took me a little while to process my favorite shot from the Perseid meteor shower peak, but here it is:

Red Sprites are huge breakdowns in the atmosphere above strong lightning strikes. They form as gases are torn apart and release photons in a transient electric field high in the atmosphere. The form of their breakdown- the intricate shapes and branching- remains a mystery to this day. This particular type of sprite is referred to as a jellyfish sprite. Beautiful, large, and mysteriously complex, they are the night sky’s kings.

Here, during the Perseid meteor shower peak, I scrambled for an interesting foreground as distant storms ramped up and sprites began to fire fiercely. Looking down this Oklahoma dirt road was perfect for the moment, leading the foreground into this amazing scene in the sky over a distant wind farm.

This image is a stack of one sprite shot looking down the road with twelve images of the brightest meteors during 45 minutes of shooting this composition. It depicts the awesomeness of my favorite meteor shower of the year, as meteors rained down from the radiant like falling fiery jewels.

About my photography: All my images are real and are usually single shots (in this case a stack of 13). I don’t swap skies or move objects around. This is a real scene. I use post-processing products to develop the shots afterward and various denoise software.

Real nature, rare nature- we don’t need anything more.

It’s always live at a Black rodeo, especially in Okmulgee.

Oklahoma Milky Way
📸


Around a 3 minute tracked image of the milkyway, I composited with another image of a cool tree silhouette I shot at Sequoyah State Park. Currently, I’m spending quite a bit of time working on my career change into web development. As such, I haven’t been shooting as much. However, with the nights getting longer once again, I’ll be able to get more time shooting deep space targets with my telescope. Hope you look forward to future. Enjoy!
