Venus Transit over the Sun


I had planned to photograph the last 'Venus transit over the Sun' of my life time. Well, an extended sleep and a cloudy sky prevented the most of it. However, I managed to cover the last 2 hours of the spectacle. The first image was taken at 8am IST. After that each photograph was clicked at an average gap of 15 minutes.

At first I thought a very low exposure would neutralize the high amount of Sunlight. but the plan actually failed. An X-ray plate came in handy. I cut a round piece of it from the exposed darker region and put it between the lens and the UV filter.
