Alan has been a landscape photographer, who also enjoyed wildlife photography, for many years. During the past twenty years he has been associated with landscape photography under the stars. Photography interests often evolve, and due to lockdown in 2020, he discovered “Deep Space Astrophotography” from his back garden and this has become a real passion.
