BEHIND THE CAMERA: SHOOTING STAR OVER GREAT GANILLY ď‚ƒ The Eastern Isles from Par Beach, St. Martin’s by Bruce Frank
A very clear, still and moonless night had drawn me to Par Beach. I walked half its length then set the tripod down and pointed the camera towards Ragged Island, where the Milky Way touched down and the stars were at their thickest. I fired off a large number of 20 second exposures, happy to gaze around the universe as I counted each one down. On flicking through them afterwards, I found this one had caught a shooting star above Great Ganilly. The bright star right of centre and reflecting in the waters off Par Beach is Sirius.
