Storm photographer Mark Humpage took over 3,000 pictures of the sky hoping to catch the spectacular sight on Tuesday night, but instead got this star trail image. This impressive image was created by constantly taking pictures of the sky for six and a half hours then merging them into one compete image, revealing star trails as the earth rotates. Despite pointing his camera at the sky from 10pm to 4:30am for over 3,000 15-second exposures, Mark only caught one meteor on film (in the top left-hand corner) and it wasn't a Perseid meteor. Mark's ghostly figure can be seen in every one of his garden chairs, looking up at the night skies from different angles風(fēng)暴攝影師Mark Humpage星期四拍了3000張夜空的照片以希望能夠拍到壯觀的景象，結(jié)果卻拍到了這張流星軌跡的照片。這張照片是不斷地拍了六個(gè)半小時(shí)夜空之后把所有的照片合成一張，最后以地球轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)的樣子把流星軌跡展示出來。盡管Mark從晚上10點(diǎn)到第二天4點(diǎn)半一直舉著他的照相機(jī)拍了3000張15秒曝光的照片，但是他僅僅從膠片上捕捉到了一顆流星（在左上角處）并且還不是英仙座流星。在他的每一個(gè)花園的椅子上都能看到Mark從不同角度看星空的幽靈似的影像。

Photographer Andy Keen went up a hill in Powys, mid Wales to get this shot. He said: "I went up to the hillside between 10.45pm and 3.00am armed only with my camera and a flask of coffee. I didn't have long to wait. Within minutes of the sun setting, and darkness descending, the night sky was illuminated by brightly coloured meteors, streaking past me and colliding with the Earth's atmosphere. I must have counted at least 40 in the space of an hour. It was an absolutely amazing and awe-inspiring spectacle, and one that will live with me for a lifetime"攝影師Andy Keen到中部威爾士，波厄斯郡的山上拍了照片。他說：“我從晚上十點(diǎn)45分到第二天3點(diǎn)一直在山上，我的裝備僅有我的攝影機(jī)和一瓶子咖啡。我沒等多久。在太陽落山之后的幾分鐘，逐漸入了夜里，然后夜空就被明亮漂亮的流星點(diǎn)綴起來，一條條的從我眼前擦過，碰撞著地球的大氣層。在一個(gè)小時(shí)內(nèi)，我數(shù)到了至少40顆流星。那真是很震驚、很令人驚嘆的景象，并且我會(huì)銘記一生。
