Here's one of my many Venus transit fails. This particular fail was shot using a music cd (ZZ Top's Greatest Hits) as a filter, which wasn't quite dark enough, with an all-in 8x optical zoom.

Flare was mine enemy this day, but, made for at least one interesting, even if not visually acceptable, image.

Looks like Marvin The Martian shot one of his planet-destroying missiles at the Sun.

I understand Venusian transits make him angry. So very angry indeed.

It's an okay image of a non-quality bird. Does that count?

If I hadn't been loving on Slick at the time, he woulda had that li'l feller for lunch. I grabbed fast, and all I got was his (Slick's) tail!

BTW: That picture is totally a quality image. Belongs in the "Neat Pictures I Took" thread.

Yeah Rhianne, wrong thread... that's a great picture.

BigV · 06-21-2012, 07:24 PM

Quote:

Explanation: As seen from Frösön Island in northern Sweden the Sun did set a day after the summer solstice. From that location below the arctic circle it settled slowly behind the northern horizon. During the sunset's final minute, this remarkable sequence of 7 images follows the distorted edge of the solar disk as it just disappears against a distant tree line, capturing both a green and blue flash. Not a myth even in a land of runes, the colorful but elusive glints are caused by atmospheric refraction enhanced by long, low, sight lines and strong atmospheric temperature gradients.

Headed out to do some fishing - trying to get a few of the sun rising on a boat doing 25 knots was probably not the brightest idea...
Took a few as the sun started to peek over the horizon.

classicman · 07-05-2012, 12:28 AM

And a few as she his behind the clouds.
Keep in mind fast moving boat and basic point & click camera.

Oh, and FTR - I don't think I've seen the ocean that calm in probably 25+ years.
We were about 10 miles offshore at that point.

Gravdigr · 07-05-2012, 03:32 PM

Nice pics, Classic!

Usually, the far away pics don't get too bothered by the movement, as long as the shutter ain't open too long. Calm water helped too, I'm sure.

Gravdigr · 07-05-2012, 03:34 PM

I like the visible rays in post #86.

They're hard to capture sometimes.

classicman · 07-05-2012, 04:59 PM

thanks Grav. I liked that one too. I can only imagine what a nicer camera with some sort of filter could have captured.
