Caught this incredible exploding meteor when I went to Rattlesnake Lake in Washington, USA last weekend. Zoom in to see the exact moment it explodes in two. [OC] [3300 x 4960]
This was a single exposure with the following settings:
Nikon Z6 | 20mm f/1.8G
ISO 1250 | 20mm | 15s | f/1.8
Edited with Photoshop
Captured this completely by luck when I was shooting a milky way timelapse. You can see the milky way in the background on the right :)
Edit1:
Thank you everyone for all the awards and comments and messages. I truly appreciate it. You guys are awesome!
Edit2:
For those asking, this was on August 16th, 2020 at 12:50 AM. The Perseids meteor shower was supposed to be visible on the other side of the frame at 2 AM so this was a completely unexpected surprise :)

I see that the 2020 alien invasion is progressing along nicely.

Somewhere, a country girl is waking up in a city boy’s body.
