Getting Lucky
Jun 10, 2012 01:14:49 #
Some one said you have to get lucky to take the really good photo you want and I believe it. I am lucky because I live in a location where lots of photographic opportunities are at my doorstep. But you have to be ready and take the opportunity when it comes up.
In the last 2 weeks I have taken a couple of shots I am proud of. They may not be the best photos but I had to work for them and that is what makes them special to me.
The Venus transition was along shot as I had no special filters and no way of knowing where the planet was, as I could not see it.
I did know when it was passing the sun at my location and guessed it would be low in the sky and the atmosphere could offer me my filter. I got lucky.
There is a photo I took from the same location of the partial eclipse of the moon, on this site, 5/20/2012.

Many amateur photographers tried and failed to get decent shots of Venus crossing the sun...Fine job of capturing :D :D :D
