Venus and Jupiter getting closer!

Unread post by Ronald Z »

Hey friends,

here is an image I captured (among many) of Venus and Jupiter in the twilight sky from my home
in Richmond, RI. As you know, the evening sky's two brightest planets will be meeting for a spectacular
and somewhat "rare" conjunction of only 0.3 deg apart on June 29-30. Don't miss it! Captured with a
Canon 60Da with a 50mm f1.4 Rokinon lens on tripod. Click on this link:

Enjoy!

Ron,

Nice shot. A little hard to enjoy the full affect on the website due to the small size, but very nice just the same. I like the lighter foreground as it enables you to see the leaves on the trees adding to the overall result.

Thanks guys! I will download a few more images soon to the BB so that you
won't see the watermark.
