TALK
‘Astrophotography and Landscapes’
“I have been an astro- and landscape photographer for over 20 years, after having failed to get any decent photos of the comet Hale Bopp in the mid 1990’s! Please join me to consider how to plan and take astrophotos in the landscape. I look forward to meeting you all.” Some of Andy’s work can be found here www.andysphotos.net.
SPEAKER – Andrew Gray
Andy is a chemist who, after working in research, found his true passion for teaching. He currently teaches new teachers at the University of Newcastle. Andy also has a deep interest in astronomy and astrophotography and loves discussing all things related to life, the universe, and scientific topics.
For the past five years, Andy has organised and hosted popular stargazing events at the Lord Crewe Arms, set in the dark skies of Blanchland in the North Pennines. These events consistently sell out. Whether it’s teaching, stargazing or engaging in scientific discussions, Andy’s enthusiasm for science shines through in all aspects of his life. Now helping Go Stargazing spread the word on Fred Olsen Cruise ships and at the Twice Brewed Observatory and Planetarium near Hadrian’s Wall.
