Stars May Fall

Perseid Meteors fall to Earth as the galaxy continues to spin.

A combination of a 45 minute long exposure (with a little light-painting), followed immediately by a 30 second exposure for the static stars (so you can see which ones made the trails) followed by three more shots of the Perseid shooting stars falling. An amazing show, which I got out of bed at 1.30am to go out and capture. 

Photography and astronomy combined it's almost train-spotting.... geeking it up large in the post-production.
