Sunset Transit Photo

Transit of Venus at Sunset over the Rocky Mountains

  Been working on a couple of photos now that I'm mostly done with my video of the transit.  This is one I really like of the Sun right before setting over the Rocky Mountains.  I was so happy that the sky stayed clear enough to see the Sun on the horizon.

  Also, this is in a pretty remarkable set of photos on the Astronomy Picture of the Day Venus Transit Gallery.

TRANSIT of VENUS

 The Transit of Venus. I Finally finished putting together my video of the transit on June 5, 2012. It was a lot of work aligning a lot of images that were especially troublesome because of the 25mph winds during the transit. I got some good footage though, including video of an airplane flying across the Sun during the event. I hope you enjoy it. I had a lot of fun planning and executing this shoot.
