Moon - Venus Conjunction from Memorial Point, Lake Tahoe


Moon - Venus Conjunction from Memorial Point, Lake Tahoe
Here's a vertically composed image from the moon and Venus conjunction on December 27. I was fortunate to be driving along Lake Tahoe at sunset, providing some great light and compositions for this astronomical event.

Here's the horizontal composition I posted on December 28, which ended up being one of my favorite shots of 2011: https://plus.google.com/107459220492917008623/posts/fbAkSJoRbUk

    Jason Hermann I wish I could take credit for planning to be here for this, but the holiday season is so hectic... I got lucky.
    Thanks Travis Nobles Jason Hermann Stuart Williams Radek Vik Lauren Hurst Sumit Sen, and thanks Mark Esguerra (as always)!
    Stuart Williams How's your ski season this year? With the second decent snowfall this week last night and more to come, I think ours in the Sierra Nevada is finally starting.

To see how a much more active meteor shower looks, here's one of my Perseid Meteor Shower videos from the same location, displayed on the Discover Magazine blog, best viewed full screen: Perseids, Writ Large http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/08/25/perseids-writ-large/ I have a number of posts on my blog www.MyPhotoGuides.com * related to night shooting and timelapse videos.
