Moon and Venus

A thin crescent moon and the bright dot of Venus shine through thin clouds. In the foreground, you can just make out the shapes of trees.

Throwback to 2019. I took this photo of the Moon and Venus with my old DSLR. It’s not perfect, but it really shows the benefits of a good lens and camera over a cellphone. In this case, I’m using my 100mm Canon Macro lens. The same one I used for taking photos of the eclipse in 2024.
