Analemma

August 11th, 2009

analemma-081109sm

My attempt at capturing analemma. It is far from perfect and needs lot more work. It is a composite of photos taken over almost 2 years. There is a big gap in the sequence on the top right as I couldn’t take even one photo during the months of May due to bad weather. Hopefully, this image will get better as I keep adding more photos.

Cheap macro lens

These photos were shot using 50mm f/1.8 normal lens attached to the camera with this $15 reverse mount adapter. Much cheaper option compared to a macro lens that costs hundreds of dollars. Love the shallow depth of focus.

Venus on 031709-pt2

A better way of looking at those three Venus photos from the last post. When they are put side-by-side, the change in the appearance of Venus over the last month is very obvious. As Venus is coming closer to Earth, its overall size is getting larger but, the Sun-exposed area that we can see is getting smaller. Hence, a thinner crescent. These photos were taken over the last month at same magnification and were processed identically.

Two crescents

Venus has been shining brightly in the evening sky for quite some time now. Moon is coming along to join the show for a few nights. They are going to be very close (about 1 degree from some places in USA) on Friday night. As expected, clouds are in the forecast. So, I went out tonight and captured some photos.
