Unfortunately I have been unwell this past week so I missed out on seeing Sam Cornwell's presentation, however I have since looked at some of his work and the following two photographs are my favourites...

| Jupiter rising over Kielder water 26th September 2014 |
I really like this photo because of the simplicity of the landscape along with the incredibly starry sky and the reflections of the light on the water.

| Mars, Venus and New Moon Conjunction 20 February 2015 |
I really like this photo because although there are only two stars, the colours/lighting in the photo are amazing. I also like how the branches at the right hand side have been included.
I think I particularly liked these photos because (and bear with me here) they make me feel so small in comparison to the rest of the world. I know that sounds really strange but next time you see a perfectly clear (or starry) sky -as in no clouds, quite rare in Scotland- look up and clear your head and just think about how far away everything is from the ground and how much further than that all the planets are... It's still really strange how I actually like to feel that small/insignificant but I suppose if I am that insignificant then it means I don't have to please or impress anyone and that means no pressure or expectations.
