Venus Transit Photo's - Volume 1

[Speed]

These were taken with the Coolpix 5700. I had it mounted on my tripod, beside my Celestron. The first shot is of the sun when it first broke through the fog. The next three shots show the disk of Venus on the sun's surface. I really like the clouds in front of the sun on these.

BTW, the light level was so low, I didn't use any filter on the Coolpix. I just cranked the apeture up to f8 and shot. Before anyone spazes on me, the sunlight was less intense than the full moon. The fog and clouds greatly dimished the light. Trust me, I am not going to do anything to ruin my eyesight!

Oh yeah, I shot three rolls of Superia Xtra 400 through the Nikon/Celestron. I'm going to get those developed today, so hopefully, I'll get some of those shots up tomorrow.
