Perseids
I heavily cropped this image; the full frame shows the garden all around, which I found too distracting.

On the night of August 11th to 12th, I pointed my Sony a6000 and the 7Artisans 7.5mm Fisheye (manual) towards the sky to capture some Perseid meteors. Out of 249 shots, almost nothing showed up... but this one feels like hitting the jackpot.Photographer's luck? More like perseverance. I had already been shooting the night before with my Sigma 16mm, and out of 600 shots, only two were somewhat decent. So on the second night, I chose the Fisheye, which is a bit slower (f2.8) than the Sigma (f1.4) but covers almost the entire sky.

August habe ich meine Sony a6000 und das 7Artisans 7.5mm Fisheye (manuell) gen Himmel gerichtet, um die eine oder andere Sternschnuppen der Perseiden einzufangen. Auf 249 Bildern war so gut wie nichts drauf... aber dieses eine fühlt sich an wie der berühmte Sechser im Lotto.
Fotografenglück? Eher Ausdauer. Schon in der Nacht zuvor hatte ich meine Kamera laufen, und mit dem Sigma 16mm bei 600 Auslösungen nur zwei halbwegs schöne Treffer. Deshalb entschied ich mich in der zweiten Nacht für das Fisheye, das zwar etwas lichtschwächer (f2.8) als das Sigma (f1.4) ist, dafür aber fast das ganze Firmament abdeckt.
Das Bild habe ich stark zugeschnitten, auf dem kompletten Bild sieht man ringsherum den Garten. Das empfand ich als sehr unruhig.
Bei diesem Beschnitt ist das Hauptthema die "Astronautenkacke", wie es ein User in einer Facebookgruppe so trefflich beschrieb.
