In this breathtaking print titled "Shot through the Heart" photographer William Attard McCarthy captures a mesmerizing moment during the 2017 Perseid shower. A brilliant meteor streaks across the night sky, piercing through the heart of our galaxy, the Milky Way. The image is a result of stacking 17 individual shots, each taken at a 25-second exposure and settings perfectly calibrated to capture every detail of this cosmic spectacle. The composition showcases the sheer beauty and vastness of our universe, with its scintillating stars forming an ethereal backdrop for this celestial event. The shooting star's trail creates a sense of motion against the stillness of space, evoking feelings of wonder and awe. McCarthy's expert use of ISO3200 f2.8 14mm ensures that even faint details are brought to life in stunning clarity. This photograph transports viewers into a scene straight out of science fiction—a reminder that we are but tiny specks in an unimaginably vast cosmos. "Shot through the Heart" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to nature's grandeur. It invites us to contemplate our place in the universe while marveling at its infinite wonders. Whether displayed on your wall or admired from afar, this print promises to ignite curiosity and inspire dreams among all who behold it.
