If you saw my previous post you’ll know I spent 9 attempts over ten years to get this shot and it finally paid off on the 10th May - my tenth attempt! Click the link in my bio to watch the full size 4K version! #stonehenge #aurora #timelapse

After 9 failed attempts over ten years my wishes came true last night at @EH_Stonehenge - I put in an 8 hour shift until sunrise and left with a massive smile. Timelapses currently being processed and will post next week. #Auroraborealis #Stonehenge #tenthtimelucky

A few shots I grabbed of the new @3LeggedThing Levelhed whilst on a shoot down in Purbeck. Love this new bit of kit and great for some of my bulkier rigs!

I’ve really warmed to Nigel Farage on #ImACelebrityGetMeOutOfHere I said, after I’d been kicked in the head by a horse.

Currently experimenting with a new rig in the studio that automatically tracks fruit as it gets heavier so it stays in the frame. Few more tweaks and it’ll be ready for action! #timelapse #blackberry #fruitshoot

Get involved fellow astrophotographers / lovers of looking up at night 😉
Do you look at the night sky or take pictures of it? We are interested to learn about your experiences of the night sky & whether you feel a connection to it. The study involves taking part in a brief interview. Find out more - derby.qualtrics.com/jfe/form… #NightSky #astro

The tedious operation of making Dad’s Christmas present this year. Did it last year but he’s got so many films on Super-8 this could go on for years! He’s 81 now, so should have them done for his 90th Christmas. Takes around 4hrs per 120m reel. #timelapse #super8 #film

Odd setup here as this scanner, which is great, only takes 50ft reels max so I’m using my @DynPerception controller and motor to roll onto and the projector as a feed.
