Venus, technically:



I know this is just a snapshot, but for some reason this view made me to take the camera out of my backpack, so I guess there was something to it :scratch

Enjoy (or ignore : )!

Hate to say it but looks to me like a beautiful sky with a "hot" pixel in it.

Try photoshopping it with a lens flare of about 60 over the star to relect the light from it across the sky nearby. I would do it if I could work out how to paste a good size copy in this thread.

Thanks, guys!
I guess sometimes you MUST get away from the "truth" for the sake of the proper perception..
I'll add some PS stuff tonight:-)

I like it... maybe because I walked outside and looked up at Venus around the same time you took that shot (and I'm not that far away). It looked incredibly bright in the fading sun.

Thanks!

It is a great sight!

Anyway, here's a (quite naive) attempt at the "Star of Bettleheim"

Now that's a kewl effect even tho it looks PS'd.
Wonder if there is a way to make it look more natural?

Thanks, Jim!

Prolly make it smaller? Or get some real lens flare and blend it in
Anyway - Happy Thanksgiving!
