The 2017 Perseid meteor shower peaked but the waning gibbous moon made it hard to see all the small meteorites. Only big ones were visible in the bright sky! I took the shot in the Valais area in Switzerland as I was on vacation with my family on August 11th, 2017 from 11:00 pm to 02:11 am (GMT + 1). It was a beautiful scenery and there was barely any light pollution whatsoever: a paradise to shoot pictures in. The mountains of the Valais offer beautiful places with tremendous wildlife and countless things to do. I recommend the place to all nature lovers.
The special shot is the close-upon the Scutum (shield) constellation moving behind the peaks. Can you spot the geostationary satellites as well? I used the Samyang 85 and 135mm to get these shots.
All is taken with Sony a7s, a7rII and Canon 6D (modded). Edited in Lr, assembled in Sequence and post-processed in FCPX.
