Photographing the Perseids meteor shower - Rhossili Bay

Photographing the Perseids meteor shower and the milky way

This was likely to be mine and Grants last opportunity to capture the Perseids meteor shower and Milky Way! we’d tried a few times recently around the Brecon Beacons but had no luck from either being a little early to the clouds ruining any chance what so ever!!

We were determined to capture them this evening as the clouds cover was meant to be quite low (30%) With the moon setting early too there was a good window of opportunity to capture the Perseids and mars along with the milky way..

I was using my Fujifilm Xpro2 with the Samyang 12 mm f2 lens with its fast aperture to capture the event.. im very pleased with the results!! hope to do more astrophotography soon!

Please head over to Alyn Wallace’s youtube channel and say hi! that mans a genius!
