== Life ==<br />
Oldřich Špůrek was born in 2008 and studies at Gymnázium Ústavní in Prague. He became interested in photography at the age of twelve, when he began experimenting with a DSLR camera. A turning point came while photographing the Milky Way in the region of České Švýcarsko, which led him to pursue astrophotography more seriously. <ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />

Špůrek works at FotoŠkoda, where he is involved in customer service and the management of e-shop orders. He also collaborates with Planetum – Prague Observatory and Planetarium, contributing high resolution fulldome photos. <ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
== Work ==<br />
Špůrek’s work focuses primarily on full-dome (all-sky) astrophotography and wide-field imaging of the night sky. His main area of interest is capturing the entire sky in a single composition, often in the form of full-sphere panoramic images.<br />
<br />
For panoramic work, he typically uses lenses around 35mm, allowing for higher detail and resolution through multi-frame stitching rather than ultra-wide single exposures. His workflow includes careful planning of astronomical conditions and advanced post-processing techniques, particularly for panoramic stitching.<br />
<br />
In addition to still photography, he aims to expand his work into full-sky timelapse photography in the future.<ref>https://magazin.aktualne.cz/cesta-ke-hvezdam-mlady-cesky-astrofotograf-svymi-snimky-ohro/r~51c89aae8e3011f0bf960cc47ab5f122/</ref><br />
