Freelance photographer Matt Bigwood wanted to convey the movement of stars when he photographed the night sky over Gloucestershire.

The 46-year-old, of Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, says: “My aim is just to produce eye-catching pictures that convey maybe an hour or more movement into one image.
