(The Sun and Venus) Paramus, New Jersey
I forgot to check my clock on the camera before I started taking images but I think this was taken at 7:08 AM. Third Contact is the moment that the edge of Venus touches the edge of the sun after transiting the sun. I think I was a few seconds late but you can't have everything. At least the sun had risen above most of the hazy clouds on the horizon otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see or photograph a thing. On various other sites, people posted images with birds also flying through the sun. I'm tempted to take one of my Sandhill Crane silhouettes and add it to this image. Tripod/Wimberley mounted Nikon D2H, 600mm AFS, Kenko 3X, Celestron C5 Solar Filter, ISO 1600, Self Timer, Aperture Priority, Spot Meter, EV +1.7, 1/250 @ F11. WB set in Capture in post processing. Full Width. Tony
