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风暴摄影师Mark Humpage星期四拍了3000张夜空的照片以希望能够拍到壮观的景象，结果却拍到了这张流星轨迹的照片。这张照片是不断地拍了六个半小时夜空之后把所有的照片合成一张，最后以地球转动的样子把流星轨迹展示出来。尽管Mark从晚上10点到第二天4点半一直举着他的照相机拍了3000张15秒曝光的照片，但是他仅仅从胶片上捕捉到了一颗流星（在左上角处）并且还不是英仙座流星。在他的每一个花园的椅子上都能看到Mark从不同角度看星空的幽灵似的影像。

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"摄影师Andy Keen到中部威尔士，波厄斯郡的山上拍了照片。他说：“我从晚上十点45分到第二天3点一直在山上，我的装备仅有我的摄影机和一瓶子咖啡。我没等多久。在太阳落山之后的几分钟，逐渐入了夜里，然后夜空就被明亮漂亮的流星点缀起来，一条条的从我眼前擦过，碰撞着地球的大气层。在一个小时内，我数到了至少40颗流星。那真是很震惊、很令人惊叹的景象，并且我会铭记一生。
