About

For as long as I can remember, photography has been my lens on the world. I began with landscapes and daily scenes, eventually moving on to capture the skies with aerial drone photography.

But my path took an unexpected, pivotal turn in October 2019. A quick trip for car accessories somehow rerouted me into a neighbouring astronomy store. That two-hour detour was a watershed moment, ending with a new obsession: astrophotography.

My initial telescope, a Maksutov-Cassegrain, wasn't ideal, but it was the essential starting point that guided me to the precision setup I rely on today.

I call this site Capturing Ancient Photons for a simple reason: that's exactly what we do. We are the humble collectors of light that has travelled millions, sometimes billions, of years across the cosmos. The realisation that these ancient, tireless photons end their incredible journey right on my camera sensor is an experience that is both awe-inspiring and deeply humbling.
