Moon and Venus

**Gandolph13** · 08-15-12 at 05:30 PM

Here's a photo I took a few days ago, at 5:00AM with blurry eyes, through my toilet window (could explain why it came out sh!thouse).
A rare opportunity to photograph Venus and the moon in close proximity and I had to have the wrong lens on the camera and bloody cloud cover.

I can clean this image up with photo enhancement programs but it is as yet untouched.

Note to self: go to bed before 3:00 AM so when you spend 1 hour in the toilet (room) at 5:00AM taking photos, standing there naked in below zero C temps, you remember to grab the telephoto lens!

The cloud over the moon actually makes it look nice and spooky... Now you just need to edit in a wolf howling.

Don't retouch the photo. This is how you saw it at the time you took it. That's the beauty of photography in my opinion.

"The Moon... sooo beautiful!"

I saw it through very blurry eyes after 1 hour sleep and crappy eyesight without my glasses.
That's not how I saw it!

Also, very nice picture you got there.

What did you think he was doing in the toilet at 5am with a camera?

Great shot!

I added a wolf if you don't mind.

You just ruined the photo for me. Hell, you might as well go and retouch it.

PS - Taking a dump without your glasses might be a strategy worth revising.

It is still amazing to see at 5am every morning, but the moon has moved on and is very faint to see now.

The old man says your still getting it , and i say what ?? and he says Venus

**Silvergrin** · 08-16-12 at 06:50 AM

Very nice! Saved the picture, I love things like this.

I see one UFO hovering over the Mother Ship! (Getting old isn't easy G-man. I have to use the toilet every morning at 6am myself. I remember when I used to wake up before 7am! Ahhhhhhhh the good ole days!)
