Nature Venus and the Sun

Venus and the Sun · 09:22 PM

A series of photos I took this evening near my home before sunset. The photos were taken with a 55-300 lens with apertures between f11 and f19, 9 stop ND, and shutter speeds between 1/1000s and 1/8000s.

I think these turned out decent, much better than my eclipse shots did. All the photos are 1:1 crops (that is significant crops)

The photos aren't quite in chronological order. The middle photo was actually the last photo I took as the sun quickly set behind that tree.

Thanks... I liked the last photo for its potential, but my quick processing of it seems to have made it quite noisy, so I'll have to revisit it. It was a weird evening out here in California because every so often some clouds (not really visible to the naked eye) would get in the way. They make for a cool moodiness, and they came up in quite a few shots I took.
