Old Dog Photography

An old (film) dog's odyssey to learn new (digital) tricks


Venus over the dome

February 9th, 2009 in Images, Night, Twilight

Another L.A. shot, also from the Griffith Observatory:

Venus over the dome

This was somewhat experimental — I primarily wanted to capture the darkening sky, but also some of the people looking out from the East Observation Terrace. The clouds turned out a bit darker than I would have liked, but my choice of subject matter somewhat tied my hands. While using HDR for this would have brought out the clouds (and toned down the building lights a bit), it wouldn’t have worked well overall due to the (sporadically moving) people.

As for the title, that little white dot over the planetarium dome is Venus…
