2004 Venus Transit from Dewey Beach, DE
On June 8, 2004, I positioned my trusty Nikon FM2, 300mm F/4.5 Nikkor AI lens, loaded with Kodak Gold 200 ISO film against the railing of a hotel on Dewey Beach, Delaware and shot this image of the sun rising over the Atlantic ocean. However, on this day, the planet Venus was transiting across the face of the sun for the first time since 1882. In this image, Venus is seen as a small black dot on the lower left corner of the sun. 1/125 of a sec at f/4.5. No filters. Scanned from negative and slighty processed to remove some dust marks with Paint Shop Pro.
