Galaxies
Our Solar System is a tiny speck inside a Galaxy called the Milky Way Galaxy which contains millions, possibly billions, of other stars and Solar Systems.
When we look up into the night sky all the stars we see belong to our Milky Way Galaxy, but beyond them, and beyond what appears to be vast 'empty' regions of space are billions of other Galaxies, each containing billions of stars.
These far flung islands of light are huge and very distant, but our cameras capture them quite easily.
Galaxies come in many shapes, the most common known shape being the 'Spiral' Galaxy.
Here is a collection of the Galaxies I have imaged so far.
Galaxies are one of my favourite subjects to photograph, so expect this gallery to grow.

Galaxy Clusters
As exciting as it is seeing and photographing Galaxies, I find one thing far more exciting, and that is seeing and photographing 'clusters' of very distant Galaxies.
These Galaxy clusters may contain as many as 1200 Galaxies within the camera frame.
They also consist of various shaped and coloured Galaxies, and are often many billions of light years away from us.
And yet we can still photograph them.
We are actually looking back into time many billions of years ago.
I imaged these Galaxy Clusters with a Canon 350d DSLR
