Procrastinator & photographer. Usually in that order.

Website/Patreon soon, for a given value of "soon".

Also a full-time carer so expect periods of radio silence.
Oi, clouds. Do one. Vamoose. Bugger off. Depart.

Bit of hard drive archaeology... Lincolnshire fens, sometime in 2019.

Equipment: X-T2, XF 16-55, a cheap and not-quite-dark-enough ND filter, and a small invocation to the gods that nobody was driving up behind me.

Here's a video of the spacejunk re-entry over the UK last night from Billingborough, Lincolnshire looking east. These cameras are specifically set up for aurora and other interesting phenomena 🔭🧪 #astronomy

1/ ☄️ Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) is gracing our skies, and we’d like to share some amazing images from ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile!

This stunning shot by our friend Yuri Beletsky, with the comet next to an Auxiliary Telescope, is today's Astronomy Picture of the Day. Congrats, Yuri! 🔭 🧪

Not amazingly sharp because the little 9mm lens isn't the best optically, but a huge streamer of #aurora over #newark to the north.

Finally managed to see the aurora. Lots more shots to edit but I grabbed a .jpg straight out of the camera because I'm absolutely buzzing and had to post something. Fuji X-T2, Laowa 9mm wide angle. 20 sec, f5.6, ISO2000.

I suppose I'd better start populating this thing... from a drive through the Lincolnshire fens at the tail end of last year. Fuji X-T2, all processing in-camera except the square crop.
