What people are saying about Andy’s Presentations…
On behalf of the Photographic Society of Queensland, we would like to thank you for joining us at this year’s PSQ Annual Convention. Your presentation as a keynote speaker was very well received and was greatly enjoyed by the attendees. Thanks for the effort that you put in during the long weekend. Your continued presence throughout the event was a big bonus, as was your generous donation of a print for the raffle. Thank you!
Pete Law – President
Andy presented a talk over Zoom titled Secrets of Award-Winning Astrophotography at our recent SJAA Imaging meeting. It was perfect, just what I had hoped for. He provided pointers for improving one’s astro-imaging that were appropriate for both beginners and advanced imagers. He also gave valuable tips on astro-image contests and judging. I received great feedback from members about the talk. Thank you so much, Andy!
Tina Dial -Thoroughly entertaining and informative! I am just in awe of your skills!
Sue Gordon – An absolutely inspiring presentation, thank you so much for sharing your passion!
Andy’s presentation to 60 Camberwell Camera Club members was Out Of This World. Starting with our nearest neighbour, the Moon, Andrew took us on a journey with his extraordinary images to Saturn, comets, nebulae in the Milky Way, and finally to other galaxies all captured from his backyard in Melbourne and a friend’s property in rural Kilmore. Amazing!
Carol Graham I was very grateful to be able to see this. Very inspirational and thought-provoking!
Geoff Healey A terrific presentation Andy, it was a good reminder that you were once like all of us and with effort, practice and patience we may even get close to your wonderful images. (Well I will try to hold that thought at least!)
David Moulton Wonderful images. Inspired to take the covers off the scope now!
Paul Litchen Thanks Andy. Great presentation!
Renato Langersek Great talk and thanks for travelling all the way up to Queensland, loved your images!
Ben Marks Wonderful talk this morning. Really enjoyed seeing and hearing about your approach to imaging. It was particularly nice to see how you choose the area of the sky and frame your images to take full advantage of pareidolia which makes the images quite personal and joyful.
Erik Mardiste Really enjoyable this morning cheers Andrew, you’ve made me more determined!
Peter Seitanidis Hi Andy. My son and I absolutely loved your Astrophotography presentation at the Brisbane Museum this morning.
David Fraser A big thank you for taking time out of your busy life to share your ‘Astro” story with the guests at the Monash Gallery of Art last night.
Your passion shone through in your presentation and you gave us great insight into another world beyond our little planet. I was amazed at how long it took to capture your subjects but what amazing art you created from God’s creation. I am sure you have inspired the audience members to enjoy life and to share the joy.”
Leanne Whelan We really enjoyed your talk!
Matt Skinner Well deserved honour… your imagery is amazing and the best I’ve seen!
Simon Watson Thank you for a very insightful afternoon! You have some amazing pictures can’t wait to get our ‘Van Gogh’ up on our wall!
Teale Britstra I enjoyed your talk today. Thanks for visiting Gladstone!
Phillip Kohler In your talk at the World Science Festival in Brisbane you talked about so many interesting things.
I volunteered at the World Science Festival in Brisbane and was able to listen to your talk. I was so impressed!
Tracey Jackman I attended the Astro-Photography talk that you gave at MAG on Wednesday night which firstly I have to say was fantastic. Your images are breathtaking and your dedication and the time you spend on achieving these images are mind-blowing. I jumped onto facebook to check out your page and was awakened by all your star trek references and other such things, that you quoted. Again, really enjoyed the evening and looking forward to following your amazing astrophotography on your page.
