RE: Pics of the Venus transit
Really cool shot, Heiko. The extra mm's from 400 to 1000 really does the trick. We never saw Venus that far away from the edge of the sun here. Maybe when it was right on the horizon, but it didn't shine through the fog until 6:30 Eastern American time.

RE: Pics of the Venus transit
Hi Rob. The exact data from the EXIF are: Exposure time: 1/800s Aperture: f/25 ISO: 200 It's shot as RAW, and tweaked for higher contrast and deeper shadows at the import into Photoshop. The crop is about 1500x1000 pixels, which was then rescaled for web.

I hope at least one of mine, of the two rolls I shot this morning, turns out that well... We had a wonderfully clear sky, though, so the sun filter was a must. Ciao, Gianfranco = _ __ Do you Yahoo!?

Wonderful shot! Jostein wrote: Hi gang. Adelheid and I are now at the Outer Banks on the coast of North Carolina. We're staying at Kitty Hawk. This morning I rose with the sun in hope to capture the Venus transit, and got lucky. The fog lifted just in time to get the last part when Venus left the sun disk. Actually, the fog turned to be an ally instead of an enemy, because the sun that shone through was bleak and mute. And well within exposure range for the *istD. So here's the pic: http://www.oksne.net/paw/venustransit.html
Re: Pics of the Venus transit
Very nice catch. Funny about the fog helping, but under the right conditions it makes perfect sense.
