Artist's Comments

I didn't even know there was supposed to be a meteor shower that night, i got lucky. Same time and location as the last star shot, and again i don't know the details. The white glow to the right is the milky way, the orange at the bottom is light from town. The star in the middle is the north star of course ;)

Anyone who is interested in knowing the basics of how to set up a shot like this just send me a message!

That's beautiful!

I've always loved Long Exposure shots of the night sky, and both this one and the other one are fabulous!
Lucky you on the Meteors!

Wow, I got so lost looking at this. I feel like I'm honestly looking up at the night sky, and I can feel the ground moving under my feet. I'm not a photographer in any sort of way, but I think the picture itself would be even more dramatic if the sky was darker. No idea how you'd do that, though. As it is, I think its still fantastic, it really catches your eye. I especially like it because I've stayed up late nights in the country so I could look up at the stars, and it gives me that same feeling of awe for what's "out there". ;) Thanks for sharing this.

haha, you really got lucky on the meteor shower. That turned out to be a pretty good shot. Too bad the city got in the way of your picture taking :P

Hopefully the city light isn't THAT distracting ;) And by city, we're talking town of about 19k people lol.

nah, it isn't that distracting. i just recently was taking some photos with the full moon out where there are no cities and it looked the same as yours because the atmosphere near the horizon was reflecting all the moonlight. so you can also just say there was a full moon. hehe
