Have you had a chance to gaze the Perseids of this year? The annual meteor shower was disturbed by the Moon, but still, there were some moonless hours to enjoy many meteors up above. After many restrictions made the traveling for Perseids a bit complicated, I decided to stay at Seč lake, Czech “Iron Mountains”, where the sky is not quite dark due to light pollution but still clear enough for watching the show. All nights around maximum were weather permitting and so I fullfiled one of my dream – to capture the Perseids over Seč island from Oheb ruins, which is local nature reserve. Under the Milky Way, night of Perseids was truly immersive. Used Canon 6D BCF Modified, Samyang 24 mm, f2.2, ISO 8000, pano of 43 segments with 15s exposure from tripod + 109 meteors captured with Samyang 12 mm, f2.8, 30s timelapsing (registered to foreground panorama).
