Description

The Geminids meteor shower over the "Al Monfareda Rock '' in The Valley of Whales in Egypt's Western Desert in Al Fayoum. "Al Monfareda '' means the one single rock, which is used locally to call single rock formations in the desert. The image is a composite where the foreground was taken at blue hour on the night of the 14th of December and sky was 201 exposures that started at 11.30 pm and ended 1.30 am. Both Sky and foreground were taken in the same place with the foreground image taken a couple of meters back to include the tree bark in the composition. All the meteors in the sky frame were captured from within the 201 exposures. I had two other cameras with even more meteors but decided to only include the ones that came from the same camera/lens and keep it simple.
