At around 17:45 today I was lucky enough to see the clouds break and Venus pop out from behind the Moon. I managed to get a few photos before rushing out, but considering problems I’ve had with focusing the Fuji S9500 in the past I think they’re not too bad.
The image on the left was taken using “night-time” mode, which is an automatic 4 second exposure. The image on the right was a simple point and click in auto-mode. Both images were taken with the camera on a tripod and a 2 second delay between click and image to prevent camera movement caused by my big fingers.
Levels and Curves tweaked using the Gimp.
