It was touch and go whether he'd get the shot.

A photographer captured a shooting star, the Milky Way Galaxy, and the Alps during the Perseids meteor shower — a celestial event that is underway again in 2023.

“We had seen a lot of shooting stars in that night on that mountain but always in the wrong direction,” he tells“So the camera was continuously capturing one picture after the other. I desperately wanted that composition but the shootings stars had all been out of the planned frame.” “The summits often were covered in clouds and the different weather forecasts were completely contradicting,” he explains.

“The haze of the high humidity was intensifying the strong light pollution of the valley but the conditions had already been much better than I had hoped as all clouds had vanished above our summit,” says Roemmelt.The image is, of course, a composite as it is virtually impossible to correctly capture all the elements in the final image. But everything in the scene was really there, Roemmelt is keen to stress it is not a “fake” composite.
