Myself, Peter Scott, Paul Martin and Steve Lansdell at Dunluce castle at the Co. Antrim coast during a comet C/2011 L4 Pan-STARRS hunt on March 11th 2013. I have to say I loved this moment, just being here in the middle of nowhere in the dark at an ancient landmark with other photographers who love the sky as much as I do really was special, we felt like kindred spirits in the night, great people, great location and great sky, this was heaven. We were all relaxed laying on that long grass on a sloping hill, you would have thought it was Summer if you had seen us and hard to believe it was late Winter, time seemed to stand still and the night turned calm and quiet except for the gentle rumble of the sea below us and the click from four camera shutters. Above is one of many images from this session at 10mm showing Dunluce Castle with the Milky Way aloft, a passing car lit the stone work for me which kind of worked here, the red below was from my own head torch, read the report for more information. * All images are available for sale in the form of photo prints, canvas or digital files for licensing, if you are interested in a purchase simply drop me an email.
