I was so looking forward to attempting to capture this conjunction of Mars, Venus, Saturn, Mercury, and the Moon. I had checked the weather, all was supposed to be clear, planned (in my head) where I'd be shooting from here in Brisbane and the look I was after. Then reality kicked in...
While the night was clear, the wind was absolutely howling. I had to weigh my tripod down to stop it all blowing over. It was freezing cold and I hadn't packed a jumper. The light pollution was worse than I anticipated. The location I had was not quite giving me the relationship between the conjunction and city that I had in my head. And at the scale of image here, not sure the actual planets are that visible
What I did kind of like about this was the glow from Brisbane's equivalent of the London Eye kind of pointing up towards the conjunction. Light pollution helped?! What?!
Much respect to guys like Stephen Mudge who do this sort of shot all the time and make it look easy. It isn't.
Anyway, here's the first of a few different perspectives I attempted. Might tinker with some of the other shots/exposures and see if I can get something more to be happy with. Image on the right is labelled.
