THE PRO JOSH DURY
CAMERA: NIKON D7500
Josh is an astrophotographer, filmmaker, and night sky conservationist. His interest in astronomy started at the tender age of seven, and he’s since traveled far and wide to witness celestial events.
He uses photography and film-making as a way to promote conservation and highlight the effects of light pollution. To see Josh’s work visit: https://bit.ly/3COq6Oi
THE APPRENTICE
BRIAN JOHNS
CAMERA: NIKON D7500
Brian is an engineering designer with a keen interest in astrophotography – so much so that he bought a van in which he can sleep when traveling to visit the UK’s dark-sky sites.
He recently invested in a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer star tracker, and he’s hoping that Josh can help him put it to good use, and help further his understanding of the night sky.
