    The first video I watched in 2018 after realizing I could photograph the stars with a dslr. You taught this 60yo to love the night sky. You were a joy to watch over the years. I will miss your newsletters, monthly vids, the passion in all your videos. So glad the family shared your service today.
    In a sky full of stars, you will always be the brightest.
    Shine on you crazy diamond~

    Incredible I'm just fascinated by these expressive images. The landscape is completely different during the night than during the day. However, you need the right equipment to be able to lift the skid. Wow thumbs up.

    I had only recently discovered your channel, fabulous it reminds me of a wonderful three days my family and I had at the Brecon Beacons back in 2018. I was blessed with clear skies. Since I live in Australia, it was a real education re thinking my settings for the much brighter skies. I love the UK it is so beautiful and hope to travel again there soon. Ian

    Impressive finished result from a well-conceived shot. Your video also showed the problems that have to be overcome, eg cloud, light pollution, navigation at night, etc. Will be doing my first MW shoot on Dartmoor shortly and I've learned a lot from your demo. Thanks for sharing.

    Alyn, still catching up on your channel. Great work! Even my long suffering wife, who gets to see quite a few photog TH-cams (not by her choice 😁), stops reading her book to watch! We live in australia now but stomped around the Brecons a fair bit a few years back. So it's great to see the places look so beautiful and your enthusiasm for your craft is infectious. Clear skies in Oz!
