WELCOME ON ASTRO & NATURE

WHO I AM
My name is Michael Barbieri and I live in the province of Verona. I have always been passionate about nature and all that is part of it. Since I was a child I have practiced sport fishing and then in the years I am dedicated to Carpfishing, a no kill technique that promotes the release of fish caught respecting and protecting the habitat of which it is part. Over the years, due to the problems that afflict Italian rivers and lakes, the passion for fishing has been surprisingly replaced by astronomy. The interest in everything that is above our heads has always been within me, so for a short period of my life I considered the possibility of enrolling in the university of astronomy. Fortunately, this hypothesis did not become reality and finally I chose my main passion, graduating in forest and environmental sciences. I received my first telescope for the graduate degree, a Celestron 114 LCM and was looking into the ocular that the interest in astronomy has become an overwhelming passion. Looking at the wonders of our universe, however, was not enough, I needed to immortalise what I saw, I did not want it to be just a memory. At that moment I decided to start the difficult path of planetary astrophotography. But you know, first loves never forget and I could not only turn my camera to the sky. Today I dedicate myself, with extreme humility and self-criticism, to high resolution astrophotography of the planets of the solar system, the moon and the sun, while for what concerns naturalistic photography I concentrate mainly on macro photography . |
