I caught a shooting star from the Perseid Meteor Shower.  This was taken while camping on a fantastic unmarked location near climbers bivouac near the base of Mt. St. Helen's.This was my first real attempt at night sky photography, so unfortunately the sky is a little bit blurry and there is some pretty heavy light pollution coming from Portland, but this defintely one of my favorite shots of the trip, and a great way to start learning night photography!
