It was much brighter than I thought it would be given the hemispheric power. Could it be because we are at the equinox, but it was so bright and mobile?

WOOHOO! My very first APOD ( Nasa’s Astronomy Photo of the Day) I am so pleased and honoured that the APOD team selected my crazy plasma time lapse. It was a pretty unusual sight. They rarely float in the air ( err, I mean space….) like that. #astronomy

My first totally analog photo print!
I took the picture with a zero 45 pinhole camera at 50 mm with 4 x 5 black and white sheet film .
I develop the film at home and then used the film negative to print a cyanotype in the sunshine!!

I will admit to a small obsession with ARP Peculiar Galaxies ( see the pictures from my big ARP picture book)
Ok I may just love all galaxies….

Blackberry Anthotype I have had this image outside in the sun since February with a negative on top of a paper coated in blackberry juice. It came in earlier than planned due to a sudden snowstorm still, I’m quite pleased with it and I think I’ll start another blackberry image ASAP #anthotype
