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~ 💖

Wow stunning shots. I feel so lucky to have the Brecons practically on my doorstep.

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.

Wonderful vlog Alyn. Really enjoyed it. Big fan of your Instagram feed so it's great to see you out and about doing your stuff. Those amazing images more than made up for the windy audio... before I bought a mic (and wind shield) I almost had to scrap an entire video because of the wind! Glad to see this is VLOG001, so I'm very much looking forward to seeing another one. :-)

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
