Perseid and Milky Way above Sturminster Newton Mill

Description

Conditions combined beautifully to create this atmospheric shot, across the River Stour at Sturminster Newton Mill. It was unusually cold for an August night (6 degrees Celsius), and the first properly clear night in Dorset around the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. A mist had descended in the field behind me, and it hung low on the river and amongst the trees behind the mill, dispersing the background street lighting very pleasingly.

A4 and limited edition mounted prints are printed on high quality Fuji glossy photo paper. Larger prints are available, printed on durable, scratch-proof and weather-proof vinyl, mounted on a 3mm thick aluminium composite board, creating a light, strong and unfussy product.
