The UCSD Photography Interest Group met at 2pm via Zoom to interact, discuss recent activities, and share photos related to this month’s theme – travel. Because of recent trips, many members shared more than the standard 5 photos. But we finished photo-sharing on-time. Here are the photos organized by member:

I know Joshua Tree in August is 100°F during the day but the Perseid Meteor Shower is August 12-13 from 10pm to sunrise. At night, the temperature is a comfortable 70-80°F. It’s a unique opportunity to photograph the meteor shower with the Milky Way. The meteor shower is Saturday night August 12 until Sunday morning. There’s no moon that night and the Milky Way will be visible all night. Best viewing is in Joshua Tree National Park starting at 10pm until 5am the next morning.

The theme for May’s Photography Interest Group proposed by Cathy was ‘Unusual View or Abstract of a Common Household Item‘. Since I was traveling, John hosted the meeting. Only three members participated and here are photos from Cathy & Sharon:
