Because of all the cloudy weather we have not seen many sunsets of late, so it was such a surprise to see that eerie bright yellow colour back in the western sky before I took this picture. It even got a lot more spectacular later on with that deep purple colour but for some reason I couldn’t capture it with my camera!
Venus will continue to close in on Jupiter on the ecliptic in the western sky with a very close conjunction on the 2nd March, hopefully I’ll be able to capture some photos of the event over the next couple of weeks, that is, if the weather is kind :-)
Images taken with a Canon 70D camera and Tamron 18-400mm lens, the exposure was 1.3 seconds and ISO200.
