EzyStyles is BACK IN SPACE!!

Howdy gang!! I am not "Lost" but "Back" In Space!

I think it has been 7 years since I have logged back in and my account is still active! (thanks mike!)

Here is my story...
After drifting off on my hobby in Astrophotography due to mainly time constrains, I've made a few life changing moments. I am now married with a 1 year old girl! We moved house twice since then (yep still light pollution) so my personal life has changed quite a fair bit. Recently after printing some family canvas, my mind suddenly thought of my astro-photo's (which I have lost ALL due to my HDD suddenly failed).. I have to honestly say I missed it a lot. It is in my blood I now realised...

I really want to get back into it but slowly as I don't have any equipment left

For the one's who remembers me, I'm the dude who shot a lot of pics with my modded 350DA

Anyway, feel free to say hi if you still remembers who I am

Wow Eric, your pics were so inspiring for what a (talented) amateur could do with a newt when I was starting out. Glad to hear you've still got the bug, and hopefully a bit of time in between family duties.

Really sorry to hear about the HD disaster. Not good. You'll just have to shoot them all again though

Hey Eric,

Welcome back matey. Wow, 7 years! Where did that go? Sounds like you had your hands full during the interlude though!

Anyway, great to have you back. Many of the old hands are still here, though many have also left, and two or three sadly have gone to the other side. (No, not Cloudy Nights!)

Ok, enjoy your stay buddy
