Meteor
SONY ILCE-7C 20mm f1.8 10.0s ISO1600
Meteor photographed looking South-West from Llanbedr in Wales. 10 second exposure.
The photograph, aptly titled "Meteor," captures a serene and expansive night sky, speckled with countless stars that sparkle like scattered diamonds across a canvas of deep navy blue. In the lower right quadrant, a brilliant meteor streaks diagonally across, leaving a trail of vibrant green and white light. This meteoric trail, cutting across the serene static of the stars, creates a sense of dynamic energy and movement within the stillness of the celestial backdrop. The meteor's glow adds a touch of magic and wonder, inviting the viewer to gaze upwards and imagine the mysteries beyond our world.
The composition of this photograph beautifully exemplifies the rule of thirds, with the meteor strategically placed on the lower right, guiding the eye naturally through the scene. The vastness of the starry sky is emphasized by the meteor's comparatively small but striking presence, creating a sense of depth and immensity. Technically, the photographer has expertly captured the meteor's fleeting brilliance against a backdrop of sharp, clear stars, balancing exposure to preserve detail across the image. However, while the meteor’s vivid colors add intrigue, some might find the wide expanse of space around it slightly too empty, potentially detracting from the focal impact. Nonetheless, this photograph elegantly depicts a celestial dance, blending tranquility with a fleeting burst of cosmic action.
