I produced this composite image showing 40 meteors from 4 hours of the Perseid meteor shower early in the morning of August 12, 2013.
These meteors appear in my 6+-minute time-lapse video of the 2013 Perseid Meteor shower on YouTube:
Later that month the Rim Fire broke out in Yosemite:

So very cool!!!
Beautiful

Man I missed it…I hope there's some great footage somewhere.
At 0:46 of the video, it looks like one of them explodes.
Great shot, thank you. It was cloudy and rainy here last night, so this is the first I've seen of the shower. This looks like a nice one. The "double star"-looking thing at about the two o'clock position relative to the center of the picture is a lovely double cluster in Perseus, a pleasure to behold in a pair of binoculars or a rich-field telescope.
+Evelyn Mitchell Yes! I zoomed in on three of the meteors vaporizing into smoke, and placed that video on my +Vimeo account:

Thatz amazing
You actually GOT meteors last night? My camera only collected 3 and every photographer I've talked to across the US has said the same thing, it was a very lame shower.
Awesomeness
Hope you got some last night +Jeff Sullivan
Hope you don't mind this comment – the "Smoke" ones you're talking about are likely persistent trains.
It is actually not smoke from the meteoroid, but a remaining glow due to ionization in the upper atmosphere after the passage of a meteoroid.
It does look incredibly like dissipating smoke though
I missed last night, too cloudy in Tahoe.
muy interesante.

The Camelopardalid meteor shower was weak +Marian Murdoch, so "I produced this composite image showing 40 meteors from 4 hours of the Perseid meteor shower early in the morning of August 12, 2013".
I wanted to see some meteors, and I wasn't seeing many in the 1500+ images I caught during the predicted Camelopardalid meteor shower, so I worked on images from a previous, much stronger meteor shower.
Hi +Jeff Sullivan. Yeah, I read your post, haha. The part that said, "I'm still working on my images from the Camelopardalid meteor shower last night," made me believe that you actually got meteors and were working on photos of them! 🙂 I think we were all taken in by the media hype on this one.
I was still working on the images form the Camelopardalids +Marian Murdoch …working on seeing any. I processed and re-processed the images to time-lapse video to see any flashes, and the JPGs I saved enable me to flip through individual images quickly as well. I found a bunch of stuff, but only one small likely Camelopardalid meteor: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffreysullivan/14262425161/
Beautiful!
Awesome work! Can't wait for this years shots! Thanks for sharing.

+Jeff Sullivan, I only found 3, and almost missed one of them until I did a stacked image and saw it going across one of the trails. 🙂 And, yep, I think you did get one in that photo!
Oh
Truly amazing
Dope
Excellent.
