| How to Photograph the Rare Transit of Venus Safely
Witnessed only seven times since the time of Galileo, Venus's solar crossing on Tuesday (June 5) is a rare and historic event that shouldn't be missed. You can boost the magnification of your telephoto lens using a 2x teleconverter. To capture the moment of ingress and/or egress, switch your camera to continuous shooting or "burst" mode so it can take many shots in quick succession. Don't be afraid to experiment. Choose an observing site that is far from vehicular or pedestrian traffic and is sheltered from the wind. If you prefer to do it manually, try various combinations of shutter speed, f/stop, and ISO speed |
