Astro Landscape Photography Experience – 31st August 2024

Have you ever wanted to take those beautiful, exquisite photos of the galaxies you see others exhibit but you just didn’t know how? Then join us for an amazing experience with an award-winning friend of the Melbourne Camera Club, Levin Barrett owner of Rare Earth Photography.

About Levin 

Levin has participated in and received many awards in both domestic and international competitions including 3 gold, 2 silver and a bronze medal at international level in 2020. He has earned an Associate level within the Australian Photographic Society, the governing body for Australian competition, achieving over 100 acceptances and over 5 awards in competition. He was also recently awarded 2 Highly Commended Awards at the Australian Photography Magazine’s Photographer of the Year. Levin is particularly proud of the Landscape Commendation as this is based on a cohesive series of 4 images that create a theme. A month later he also placed in the top 30 of the Wilderness Photographer of the Year competition.  Levin is currently completing a Diploma of Photography and hopes to finish the course in the next 12 months.

Levin started many years ago, about as far from photography as you could imagine, as an aircraft engineer. After 20 years he decided to fly them rather than fix them and re-educated himself to become a pilot. He is now a Captain with a major Australian airline and fly both domestically and internationally.

Levin has experience in writing and delivering training and have been a ground instructor on A320, A330 and B787 aircraft to pilots for 12 years. He was the lead ground instructor on the B787 and wrote a significant amount of the courseware. Therefore, training is in his blood and has the experience and skills to pass concepts and technical skills onto anyone. As the saying goes, those who can do – those who understand teach!
