Jupiter and Venus plus one

#1

Post by sdbodin »


Of course, it was cloudy last night when the conjunction occurred. But, got a shot of Venus speeding by tonight to bookend Monday's shot of them closing. Wife's iPhone again, just point and shoot, don't know how to run the thing, except turning off the flash. Lots of tech built into these camera phones these days, really hard to get that out-of-focus-shaky-UFO pic any more. Maybe that's why the Enquirer at the super market check-out line hasn't had any pics for some time.
