I spent a the early very cold hours of this morning up at Burton Dassett Country Park in the heart of Warwickshire, trying to capture the Leonid Meteor shower, in the end I was able to capture a single Leonid, that you can see smashing into the roof of the historic beacon on the top of the 666ft peak...

Hopefully you'll agree with my feeling that the shear level of the trails has an almost Hypnotic quality (y)

As with all my photo's comments and critique are both welcomed and appreciated (y)

In terms of stars, personally I think that's about the best Ive seen.

Light clouds here tonight means no Leonids :(

Matt, you are one of those photographers that I aspire to... you have such passion and focus that it always shows in your work.

stunning shot, brilliant execution, and :notworthy:

well done!

Hypnotic - Very much so Matt. Really graphic lines that draw you in. It almost doesn't need the land or the building in the shot... although they do give context to what you're looking at.

I'll hopefully be there over the winter but for other purposes.... snowboarding ;)
 
Keep waiting for the Tardis to appear. That must have been a very cold 90 minutes.
Lovely shot.

Thanks Pat, very kind of you to say, glad that you like it and hope that you get your snow :D maybe see you up there one day, though I'll take some pictures rather than snow boarding ;)

It was actually a cold 4 hours but some of that was because I was early and set up time, it take time to set up two camera as I was double shooting last night and then unfortunately partially down to myself I had to scrap about and hour of exposure due to mist/frost issues :annoyed:

Yeah, that is a special photograph :clap:

Well composed and nice length in the trails.

Wish I could drag my butt out of my warm bed to do some trails.

Cheers.
