Description

Comet Garrad on Jan 29th, 2012. 10x240" @ ISO 1600, TV-85 at F/5.6. It was pretty low in the sky for me and I was fighting twilight and a bad LP dome. Still, I was happy to be able to finally catch it again.

Equipment

Canon EOS 350D, 18-55mm at 25mm on tripod 1.3s at f/4 ISO 100

Description

I heard about the close encounter between Venus and the moon from your weekly bulletin so I packed my old and faithful 350D, my two 8 and 10 years assistants and went to the Laguna de Caracuel (Caracuel Lagoon) a tiny lake between Ciudad Real and Puertollano, were I live, in Spain. When coots and ducks retired, the waters became calm and the lagoon was a spectacular mirror. I hope you like it!

I was outside with my son in zero degree temperatures for two and half hours to catch this shot. We set up our cameras and took pictures at 20 second intervals hoping for a nice shot. My son gave up, but I soldiered on. It was worth up.
