The Camera Life

Our guest today is Levin Barrett, a passionate, award winning Astro and Landscape Photographer. He runs photography courses and tours while also still working as a commercial pilot! https://rareview.photography/ https://www.instagram.com/rareview.photography/ Here is some more about Levin in his own words:I started many years ago, about as far from photography as you could imagine, as an aircraft engineer. After 20 years I decided to fly them rather than fix them and re-educated myself to become a pilot. I am now a Captain with a major Australian airline and fly both domestically and internationally. Through all of this I have had a passion for photography starting with an Olympus OM1 back in 1980 and had my own black and white darkroom. I drifted away from photography during my busy stage of life but 18 years ago I got back into it and have just gone nuts with photography since them.
