ASTRO DOGS VERY FIRST PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION 'CELESTIAL ADVENTURES!" HAS JUST BEEN EXTENDED BY ANOTHER WEEK! 🥳🛰🚀💖🔭✨️🪐

We are delighted to announce that our very first night photography and astrophotography exhibition at the Shakespeare Gallery in Scarborough has just been extended by another week! The exhibition will be taking place each and every day until Tuesday 23rd July between 11:15am and 5:30pm.

Prints of our photography will be available to purchase along with other space themed goodies and Astro Dog merchandise.

If you would like more information please read on....

As many of you know, we have a great passion for night photography, astrophotography and of course the beautiful Northern Lights. While we have always loved the night sky, night photography and aurora chasing is where our celestial adventures really began. It was around ten years ago now that we captured our first photographs of meteors and the Northern lights and we’ve been hooked ever since.

Not too long ago, we were invited to take part in Scarborough ART, a fantastic festival (part of The Scarborough Fair) celebrating local creatives at a variety of venues across Scarborough. We were thrilled to have been given the chance to take part and couldn’t turn down this amazing opportunity.

OUR FIRST PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION

We have been hosting our first ever Astro Dog night photography and astrophotography exhibition this past week and are delighted to have had this exhibition extended for another week. We will in fact be exhibiting in not one, but two incredible venues in Scarborough this month. The Shakespeare Gallery (previously known as the Shakespeare Pub, a beautiful historical Tudor style building located opposite the Market Hall) and throughout August we will be exhibiting in a little gallery above Picturesque Framing shop on St John's Road.

We have never printed our photography before, and are excited to do so for the first time and to be able to share our photography with you all.

Both of our exhibitions will be free to attend, and will not require pre-booking. We will be displaying some of our favourite images that we have captured on our celestial adventures across Scarborough, Dalby Forest - Forestry England, North York Moors National Park and beyond, including some images that no-one has seen before!

CELESTIAL ADVENTURES EXHIBITION

The name for our photography exhibition will be called "Celestial Adventures"…

We would love to invite you all to join us on a celestial adventure, a journey through space and time. Exploring the cosmic beauty of the night sky. From the beauty/splendour of a moonlit ocean, to blackened skies adorned with stars, to the majesty of the Northern Lights dancing above the quiet cliff tops. Take a closer look at the jewels of the night sky from millions of lightyears away, such as distant star clusters, nebulae and galaxies. Marvel at nature’s own fireworks from lightning strikes to meteors and stunning atmospheric phenomena that paint our skies in all of the colours of the rainbow.

DATES AND TIMES

Our exhibition at The Shakespeare Gallery will take place every day until July 23rd and will be open from 11:15am to 5:30pm.

We will be announcing further information about our exhibition at the Picturesque gallery very soon.

Please keep an eye out for updates on this here, on our website www.astro-dog.co.uk and on our mailing list which you are all welcome to join.

ASTRODOG PHOTOGRAPHY PRINTS AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE

In the past, we have been asked many times if we have prints of our photography available, and should you wish to take home some of our work, prints of all of our photography will be available for purchase.

Orders can be taken at the exhibitions and soon prints will be made available on our website and on the Scarborough Fair Website too.

GIFT SHOP

We will also have a little space themed gift shop which will include a variety of space themed goodies as well as Astro Dog merchandise. Plus you may get to see the Astro Dog herself. Luna. 🐶✨️

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT AND VISIT OUR EXHIBITIONS

If you enjoy what we do, would like to view some of our photography work and show your support for what we do, we would love to welcome you to our exhibitions. Hopefully we will see some of you there.

Additionally if anybody has a venue, shop, cafe etc and would like to exhibit or display our photography work in the future, please do get in touch.

FINAL WORDS BY ASTRO DOG

We have been very busy over the past few months preparing for these exhibitions, finalising the processing, printing and framing of our work.

We are over the Moon to be exhibiting our photography work for the first time, we can’t wait to see our work printed for the first time and let everyone be able to view our work in physical format for the first time too! We look forward to hopefully seeing lots of you there. You might get to see the Astro Dog herself too, Luna. 😊

If you have a spare moment and are able to share this post and spread the word to anybody who might be interested, we would be incredibly grateful. As always your support means the world to us. You're all stars. 💖

I'm nowhere near as nervous for this release as I was with the EP. I'm not entirely sure why.

I think I'd convinced myself with the delay in approval that it wasn't going to be here on time, and I'd have to come up with some more nonsense about delays that weren't my fault etc etc. So there's no real pressure.

There's also the lack of audience and engagement. The page isn't far off dead, and I'm mostly fine with that. I haven't shared any of this on Instagram because nobody sees my posts there, I haven't put it on Bluesky, or Tumblr, or TikTok...I'm too tired to put in so much effort for so little response.

However, I promise you that this track is better than anything on the EP. The album I release this year will be 100x what that was. Learning my craft, believing in my songwriting abilities, and giving less of a f**k, to be honest.

The song will be on your streaming platforms tomorrow. You can buy it now if you're insistent on either getting it early or encouraging my nonsense. https://ellementary.bandcamp.com/track/the-final-boss - I'm trying to buy a food chopper for the kitchen, so anything that comes up will go towards that, I guess.

Ko-Fi will be changing soon too. I'll explain more about that when I get to it.

Thanks guys.

Elle.

It's too late for me to create a pre-save link (thank you so very much, distribution agency) but I have some news.

Friday 17th May. Your streaming service of choice.

Elle Mentary reintroduces herself to the world ahead of her forthcoming debut album (details to come soon...) as The Final Boss.

Will post links when they come up, I guess.

Well this is certainly less than ideal.

Listen to me on Spotify to boost my morale, apparently.

How long should an album be? A particular length? A certain amount of songs? If I said album, what would you expect?

It's bandcamp Friday, which if you're not aware means that they waive their revenue share and it goes to the artist instead. Nice little touch.

If you want to buy The Years Have Been Unkind To... then today would be a good day to do so.
