A lovely evening spent with Webheath Digital Photographic Society last night, sharing some of my adventures beneath the stars! ✨

From chasing the Milky Way across extraordinary landscapes to the planning, patience and occasional chaos that goes into capturing the night sky, it was a pleasure to share the stories behind my photographs.

One of the things I enjoy most about giving talks is meeting people who share that same curiosity and enthusiasm for photography. There's something rather wonderful about bringing a little of the night sky indoors and hopefully inspiring a few more people to venture outside and discover what's waiting above them.

A huge thank you to everyone at Webheath for such a warm welcome and a lovely evening. I hope a few of you will be pointing your cameras skywards before too long!

Keep looking up! 💫

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.

A year ago today, my photograph flashed up on the winners' screen at the British Photography Awards 2025, and I genuinely couldn't believe it!!

To hear my name announced as the winner of the Low Light category was one of those moments I'll never forget. All those nights spent chasing clear skies, planning compositions, battling the elements and wondering whether it would all come together, had led to this.

And what a year it's been since!

Extraordinary skies, new adventures, opportunities I could never have imagined and, perhaps best of all, the truly wonderful people I've met along the way.

If you'd told me a few years ago where this journey into astrophotography would take me, I'm not sure I'd have believed you.

I'm so grateful for everything this past year has brought, and so excited to see what lies ahead.

Here's to following your curiosity, embracing the adventures and never forgetting to look up. 💫

Big thanks to all of your encouragement along the way - you know who you are.

There's A LOT to see in this image!

Pristine dark skies, an array of magnificent telescope domes, Jupiter and Mars sitting near the centre of the frame, Sirius the Dog Star rising on the right, the familiar Plough on the left, and a scattering of Orionid meteors streaking across the sky.

This sweeping 210-degree panorama brings together three hours of photographing the night sky above Teide Observatory in Tenerife.

But perhaps my favourite feature is the beautiful, ghostly glow of zodiacal light — that triangular beam of light rising from the horizon near the centre of the image. It's sunlight scattered by tiny particles of interplanetary dust drifting through our Solar System. Something that looks almost otherworldly, yet is part of our own cosmic neighbourhood.

There's a whole universe waiting to be discovered. All we need to do is pause and look up 💫

There’s something so special about standing beneath a sky like this.

A telescope dome at Teide Observatory in Tenerife under a truly sparkling night sky, with Orion the Hunter rising proudly above it all ✨

I love scenes like this because they feel like a meeting point between science and wonder — a place built to explore the universe, beneath the same stars that have inspired people for generations.

It’s impossible not to look up here and feel very small, very grateful, and completely in awe.

I've used my astromodified camera here to pick up more of the Hydrogen Alpha (the reddish colour) around the Orion nebula. I was fortunate enough to capture an Orionid during the shoot as well 💫

Stick with me people! ⭐️

Starry outfits are rapidly becoming part of my signature look, and after a few people asked me just how many starry things I'd brought with me to Starmus, I thought this would be a bit of fun! 😍

Stars by day, stars by night… apparently there's no escaping them if you're near me! ✨

Right, now back to some serious astrophotography.... 💫

Last night, 12 of us made the journey up Mount Teide for an astrophotography workshop under the stars.

We travelled through thick cloud to reach Roques de García and were rewarded for our efforts with a gloriously sparkling night sky.

A huge well done to my team, some of whom were taking their very first steps into the world of landscape astrophotography. It was an absolute pleasure to share the stars with you! 💫

I am beside myself with excitement that I’m on my way to STARMUS Festival 🎉— a brilliant blend of astronomy, music, science and wonder, founded by Sir Brian May and Garik Israelian. 🌌

This year it’s being held on the island of Tenerife, and I’ve been invited to speak about landscape astrophotography and lead guided tours up Mount Teide under those incredible skies.

I’m also loving The Daily Mail’s description of STARMUS as the “glorious Glastonbury for space geeks”. Oh yes 💪😂

Six days of astronauts, Nobel laureates, scientists, artists, explorers and adventurers, all coming together in a celebration of curiosity, discovery and the Search for Truth. I genuinely cannot wait.

Expect LOTS of updates!! ✨🚀
