Moon/Venus Conjuntion

PostDateIcon May 20th, 2007 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Rob

I almost missed this. I was putting the dog out the back door and happened to see it just before it set. I quickly grabbed my camera and tripod. Cannon EOS 300D 100-300mm zoom telephoto. 21:42:43 EDT.

ISO 1600 – 2 sec exposure to illuminate the foreground.

Note the haze and skyglow of the Florida summer as it compares with a similar photo from mid-winter. :(
