Description
I was in my living room which faces north and has an entire city view from the 4th floor of my apartment. I was on the couch and noticed it was already morning and replied yipes, I better call it a night and get the bed. As I walked over to the picture window and glanced to my right which is due east, to my amazement I could not believe what a heavenly sight. I grabbed my keys and camera and made a dash to the elevator and to the main floor and to the entrance which faces earth, I stood there in awe, pure awe. These are my first images of this event with the planet Venus lower right hand corner and the newly crescent moon. I took many images and sorted through them and selected and worked on the ones which were best. This particular image I turned the camera to position the two from corner to corner of the frame, This image would be ideal for any science teacher, any star gasser, anyone fascinated as I am with deep space images. This photo was taken with a Nikon 820 macro zoom wide angle, manual settings such as twilight settings, night-time settings and so forth. I did rapid fire shots because I did not use a tripod, after taking well over 25 or more shots these were my best.... This photos and others in the series were held hand and very difficult to achieve decent minimum blurring....
