Professional photographer competition reveals breath-taking work

Some incredible shots have been captured in the Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition.  Take a look on the BBC page at some of the entries.

Amateurs, semi-professionals and professional photographers submitted their entries to the competition run by the Royal Observatory Greenwich.  Australian photographer Martin Pugh claimed the top prize in the competition.

Make sure you have photographers insurance in place if you’re out trying to capture an image like the above.  If you were to drop your photographic equipment at the crucial moment, you need to know that you’ll get a replacement without delay so that you can carry on taking photos.
