Amazing Photo ...
Take a look at the third shot especially in this UK Daily Mail Article. Meteors and waterfall.

Stunning bit of work.

Great shot, but why no star trails?

The waterfall would only need 10-20s exposure, and the static sky shot was probably using just one of his exposures.
The meteors would've been added in layers.

Sorry, not my cup of tea, way too 'manufactured' looking.
What's with the second one? Star trails and stationary stars in the one image......yuck!
Cheers,
Jason.

I am with you Jason, some people tend to think PS as a collage board rather than a digital developing tank.

Some wonderfull pictures there.
Just like artists the photographer has used the
tools at his disposal to make some great photographs

Not having a go at you Ron, but do you think those sort of images can really be called 'photographs'?

So has he "cut" the meteors out from the background stars and layered them in?
It looks great to those who are uneducated about the night sky, but knowing that there would have been movement of the stars during the time to capture all of those meteors makes it look a bit manufactured to me.

He could've had a tracking mount to capture the sky and meteors, as Phil Hart did recently, and then layered on a fixed shot of the water falls.

The first one is lovely. The other two do nothing for me.

Many of Frank Hurley's great photos were composites of multiple images and heavily processed in the darkroom. I don't see this as much different. Photographs have often been massively manipulated since the camera was invented.
As to whether you like the look or not, that is personal taste, I'm not sold on the shooting stars mixed with star trails, but it is still 'photography' as much as that done on film and manipulated in the darkroom is.

The light on the mountaintop is what I live for.
Absolutely divine.
Though, the images do nothing for me, personally.
