The North Fylde Photographic Society (NFPS) is thrilled to welcome back accomplished photographer Gordon Watson for an inspiring evening dedicated to astrophotography on Tuesday, 2 December 2025.
About the Presenter: Gordon Watson ABPE DPAGB QPSA
Based in Lancashire, Gordon Watson has built an impressive photography portfolio spanning multiple genres. His journey began with landscape photography, drawing inspiration from two of England’s most stunning national parks—the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales—where he’s spent countless hours hill walking and capturing nature’s beauty.
Over the years, Gordon has explored diverse photographic styles, from wildlife to portraiture. However, his recent passion has centred on the technical challenges and artistic rewards of astrophotography. This fascination has led him to create an extensive gallery of astronomical images, complete with detailed technical notes, available at gordonwatsonphotography.co.uk/home-page/astro-photography.
