I am so glad Alyn got to live a life he loved. RIP
R.I.P. Dear Alyn. We are all better for your efforts. You were an inspiration to thousands of photographers, and you will be missed. I feel fortunate that I was smart enough to purchase your book last year. It will always hold a place of honor in our home.
did he die?

For me, as someone following in your footsteps, this video was the most impactful.
I loved watching every single upload. You were one of the few people who I'd drop everything for just to watch a new video.
I'm grateful for everything you have done to inspire us all and thankful for this huge collection of videos you left behind. I will watch from a different perspective now, but one of wonder and inspiration nonetheless.
Wherever you are now, I'm sure you've got clear skies 💔.
RIP Alyn. So glad you quit your job and LIVED.
This is so moving . RIP, and sincere condolences to all who knew and loved him. I only heard of Alyn last week. I hope these marvelous videos, a testament to his work and passion and appreciation of natural beauty remain online. It's so sad...
The best way to end a Sunday 😀
Crap today is Sunday? Ughhh Monday’s...
I really enjoyed listening to your story Alyn. There are quite a few similarities to mine these past years. I'm so pleased you've been recognised by so many people for your work . .it's great that you have raised the profile of nightscape photography around the world and given so many people enormous joy in the process. All the very best for the future mate .. I'll be following the journey.
I like your honesty pal, well done.
Happy for you Alyn that you’re following your heart..
Your passion for Astro is amazing .
You end by saying 'probably boring', but your videos never are!
Those stars in the background now have a new friend, RIP and thank you for the inspiration x
Such a great loss for the photography world 😔😔 young and talented buddy
Amazing story Alyn. Hats off to you 😊
I thank all of the Astrophotographers on UA-cam who create tutorials and explain the equipment.
This Is an Inspiring Story Alyn...!!! I myself is a Young Astronomer/Astrophotographer and This is an inspiration to me. Thanks a lot Man! This was A really Great Story, love your workl!!!
Glad to hear it thanks so much!
YOUR EVERYWHERE
Having been incredibly fortunate to have attended one of Alyn’s workshops in 2019, I can say that Alyn is a) a great teacher, b) very generous with helping others learn good photographic information, c) very quietly but immensely enthusiastic about his profession, and d)I found him to be very approachable to just chat with too.
I've done the same, Alyn. Studied physics in astronomy at university, got a good job afterwards. I quit my job over a year ago to pursue astrophotography full time - and it's been the best decision of my life!
I don't understand how someone makes money from doing this?
@@johnnycash4034the video you commented literally answers this question 😂😂
RIP Alyn. Kudos to living your life your way.. .Your work will live on.
Cruise peacefully through the cosmos 🌠
I just leant of his passing. Saddened to hear the news. He introduced me to many aspects of astrophotography. RIP.
RIP Alyn🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 You will be missed!
I had a same feeling when tried a long exposure with my smartphone. I was like what!!! Though the shots were worst the feeling was just awesome 😂 And then just started looking for the creators and found about you and man you are great. Inspired by you i started astrophotography and today the joy of seeing the milky way on the screen of my dslr is just out of the world. Thank you for your work!!😇

Great hearing your story, Alyn. Your authenticity shines through in these videos. They’ve been an inspiration for me during the pandemic, starting my own astrophotography journey. You’re doing meaningful work and we appreciate it.

Thanks Alyn, you're the reason I have my first DSLR and few shots of Neowise and the Moon.

Don’t sweat the book, it’ll be ready when it’s ready and all the better for it.
Love your story, happy for you! Thanks for sharing 😀
I remember the first time seeing animations of our Solar system, showing how the planets orbit the sun, why we have seasons and a day and night cycle. This was in back in 2nd grade, and I'm HOOKED on anything Astro since then.
Just recently started to photograph the night sky, it's a somewhat humbling experience seeing the milky way in a dark area. Always puts me in my place and makes sure that I'm always nice to people.
Once you get interested into anything astro, there is no going back. Probably the most exciting thing for me.
Glad you've found your way! Stay Safe ❤️
Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your story. This speaks to me on so many levels.
You’ve inspired me before for so many reasons. You’re so humble, smart and such a great photographer and I appreciate everything you do.
Keep inspiring my friend.
It felt like 5 min video for me. You are amazing Alyn. Thank you for sharing the work of your life.
Really enjoyed this Alyn. So open and so honest. I’ve been following you for a long time now Alyn and I feel proud of you for being brave and taking that big step to leave work and start your own business. Well done.
Thanks for sharing your story! It's refreshing to hear someone tell their candid story and it very much resonates with me at the moment. I've come to similar realizations working as a software developer these past few years and have just started making strides towards building up my photography career.
Thanks for sharing your story Alyn. Similar to mine in some ways from the early references to drugs & unenjoyable work life. Being a landscape photographer for many years you have opened my eyes to Astro, so I am forever grateful for that. Keep up the amazing work, you are a joy to watch & follow mate!!
I enjoyed this so much, Alan. You really spoke from your heart. That’s what we love about you and your work. It is genuine, including your failures and triumphs. Keep doing what you do and love and we will be right there with you in support!
Great video, Alan - thank you for sharing. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for how you’ve opened my eyes to a world of landscape astrophotography that I’d dreamt about but never realised was possible. You’ve helped me kickstart my journey. Thank you.
Such a great journey so far Alyn, takes real courage to jump from the safe path of steady job and income to follow your passion. I really appreciate you sharing this. Peter Zelinka did a similar video a while back, just amazing to hear your perspectives and how you found your way to where you are now.
Great story Alyn..no matter what your past. You are a inspiration to any young man. You learned from those missteps and found what you love to do being astrophotographer. It shows in your passion for what you do…thanks for sharing Alyn..all the best to you.
Alyn, thank you for this video! It was great to hear where you came from, and how you got to where you are today. I hope one day to be able to join you in one of your workshops, or even meet up in person!
When I was first starting to get interested in the night sky, and got my first camera a little over 3 years ago, your videos were among the first I found when searching for information on Astrophotography. From the start you were one of my biggest inspirations, and still are!
Alyn, Thanks for sharing your journey. You’re an inspiration and a master of your craft.
Amazing story! So glad you got through your earlier years and got to this point in your life. It has inspired me to work harder at my astrophotography. Look forward to your new book and updated photoshop astro presets. Thanks man!
You are such an inspiration Alyn! Love your story :D
Right back at ya Helena. Such an inspiration for young people, for women, for astronomers of all levels and you have astronomical potential! Keep it up
Quite a story. Glad to see how someone so far down in the dumps can pull their life together and become very successful. An inspiration, looking forward to more of videos and your book.
Great video Alyn…thank you for becoming vulnerable and sharing your personal journey. It’s truly inspiring!
A very interesting story, thank you. Good luck and clear skies!
I’m literally crying watching this. We are surprisingly similar. Real inspiration.
Hey Alyn. You're an inspiration to us all. Best wishes on your new adventure.

I am short of words. I really don't know how to thank you. The work you're doing has inspired so many people to just take a pause, breathe deep and take a look at the beauty of our night sky. Your work is not only beautiful but informative as well and I am so glad to have found you, a source of inspiration and happiness.❤️

A great story Alyn! Enjoyed the video. You are one of my Inspirations of this amazing hobby. Thanks for sharing mate!!!
Alyn, what an enlightening vlog and your openness at the beginning is commendable and a testament that you can make a positive change from a negative period in in life. Been following your channel from the early days and remembering bricking myself when I spotted you having a bite to eat at the Digital Splash event and plucked up the courage to speak to you. (even managed a quick word with Thomas Heaton that day too). I have always admired the quality and professionalism of your work which is truly inspirational and wish you continued success in the future
Congratulations mate all your hard work has paid off. Thank you for all your inspiration from you videos.
Great video Alyn & not boring at all. Very interesting to hear your story & best wishes for the rest of 2021

Fantastic story Alyn. I admire your honesty. I myself fell down a rabbit hole of bad behaviour & to hear someone I watch be in a similar boat, and come out the other side and chase their dreams, is truly inspiring... so thank you! Clear skies 🤙🏻
