The
Alyn Wallace
Big 5
Dafydd has known Alyn since a chance meeting in Cwm Elan in 2017 when both were starting our in the world of landscape astrophotography.
They collaborated on many projects including organising star parties and the official launch of the Cambrian Mountains Astro Trail in 2019.
An astrophotography workshop in Tenerife in 2022 served only to strengthen the bond between the two Welshmen who'd spent several nights out learning from each other's mistakes and achievements.
The untimely death of Alyn in 2024 was a real shock for the astrophotography community as well as for his family and partner Zelis. Coming to terms with the passing of such a wonderful person who'd given so much to others was so hard for so many.
Dafydd attended the memorial service for Alyn at Kabak Turkey in October 2024 and it was there he realised that keeping Alyn's memory and story alive would be his focus for the foreeable.
Following discussions with Alyn's parents, Pauline and Ian, and brother Rhys, Dafydd will now be offering a grand tour of Cwm Elan International Dark Sky Park under the title
'The Alyn Wallace Big 5'.
The tour, organised in partnership with Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water. will visit key locations photographed by Alyn on his astro journey in the Cambrian Mountains of Wales.
If you're interested in completing the Alyn Wallace Big 5 in one night, please get in touch.
*The Alyn Wallace Big 5 was recently completed for the first time in one night by Dafydd and local fellow night photographer and farmer Sorcha Lewis, who also knew Alyn well.
