Arrow Moon, Venus and Mercury conjunction

Hi all

This was taken last Thursday morning, when there was a beautiful conjunction between the waning crescent Moon, Venus and Mercury.

Unfortunately clouds ruined most of my chances to get a "poster shot", but I was able to snap a few images in-between the grey matter.

Taken out at Terrigal Beach, on the Central Coast of NSW.

Used the Canon 350D on a fixed tripod, with the 75-300mm lens for the close-up, and the 17-70 Sigma for the wide views.

Thanks for looking.
