How to Photograph the Geminid Meteor Shower

The Geminid meteor shower in 2026 is going to be an outstanding opportunity to capture photographs, video or timelapse.

Join photographer and educator Matt Hill of National Parks at Night as he helps you dream about this fiery event. He is a professional night photographer, and an avid meteor shower chaser.

This year's Geminids are predicted to have very high activity. Depending on your location it can range from 110 to 125 meteors/hour. That's a lot!

Matt will share how to make a plan, choose your gear, and capture the photos. He will show many edited examples of past meteor Perseid and Geminid meteor showers (the two most active), along with some light suggestions on how to get started editing.

Don't sleep on this one! It's a big opportunity. What you learn in this presentation will be tailored to the Geminids, but can be applied to nearly any meteor shower.
