Hello to everyone. I have a little bit of an interest in the night sky and nature and try my best to record what I see with photography, albeit with very different outcomes.

I must admit, I am not an expert and certainly not quite adept compared with a lot of the excellent displays I encounter on flickr and, I must say, well done to all of you. Whatever our ability, I feel we should encourage ideas and value the precious time we have to experience and share what we observe.

I certainly have great pleasure when anyone takes an interest in my photos and a big thank you to everyone who spend their time to view and appreciate them. I also hope that some of my albums can provide a little help for knowledge and identification of things we encounter in our world and the night sky.

I have used many different types of equipment to obtain the images I post and I find there is great satisfaction in getting the best out of what is available. Despite quite a few disappointments encountered along the way, I am still trying to improve. As well as my technique, it may involve the occasional foray in obtaining one or two more lenses for my Nikon and additions to my astronomical set up.

The important thing is, I will give it a go and remind myself I am always learning. Whatever we have at hand, I feel it is better to obtain that particular moment in time rather than nothing at all.

The keepsakes I obtain through photography are just a simple reminder and gratitude for a very fortunate and fascinating existence on this tiny speck in the universe.
