  • Our guest today is Levin Barrett, a passionate, award winning Astro and Landscape Photographer. He runs photography courses and tours while also still working as a commercial pilot!

    https://www.instagram.com/rareview.photography/

    Here is some more about Levin in his own words:
    I started many years ago, about as far from photography as you could imagine, as an aircraft engineer. After 20 years I decided to fly them rather than fix them and re-educated myself to become a pilot. I am now a Captain with a major Australian airline and fly both domestically and internationally.

    Through all of this I have had a passion for photography starting with an Olympus OM1 back in 1980 and had my own black and white darkroom. I drifted away from photography during my busy stage of life but 18 years ago I got back into it and have just gone nuts with photography since them.

    About the hosts:

    Justin Castles [@justincastles](https://www.instagram.com/justincastles/) [@justinandjim](https://www.instagram.com/justinandjim/)
    I'm Justin, the owner of [Lucky Straps](https://luckystraps.com/) as well as a professional photographer/videographer. After photographing weddings full time for about 7 years with Jim I now focus on sports, mainly mountain biking for Flow Mountain Bike. I have shot with Canon, then Nikon and now back to Canon with a full Mirrorless RF mount system. A full on gear nerd and business nerd, ask me anything about your camera kit or how to grow your photography business.

    Greg Cromie [@gcromie](https://www.instagram.com/gcromie/)

    Greg is a regular writer for photography publications such as ShotKit and also the famous Lucky Straps Blog. He is an avid Fujifilm X-series shooter as well an experienced reviewer of all things photography. You can find him wandering the city of Melbourne with a camera in hand, street photography being his genre of choice. His love for Fujifilm helps offset the traditional Canon vs Nikon arguments of Justin and Jim.

Prior to launching the business 'Justin and Jim - Photographers' with me he was a full time photojournalist for the Bendigo Advertiser. He is a long time Nikon DSLR shooter having his hands on just about every pro Nikon camera since the D3.

    Grant Fleming [@grantflemingphoto](https://www.instagram.com/grantflemingphoto/)
    Grant is the definition of a passionate hobbyist, he has a day job but is always thinking about photography and regularly heads away on landscape photo adventures. He also makes money with his photography by shooting weddings, events and real estate.
