Hello,

My name's Walter, I live in a small village next to Aix-en-Provence in the South of France. 
I discovered astrophotography a year or two ago. Then, my hobbies were more centered on "classical" analog photography, in particular street photography. With the COVID and the lockdowns, I stopped taking pictures and I wanted to start anew.
I like deep sky photography and solar imaging.

Thank you for your welcome

Hi Walter,

Welcome! I was (and I'm) also a photographer amateur who in COVID-lockdown decided to do the step I was thinking about some years ago but I did'nt dare to take.

Clear skies!
