T. V'Soske: "These auto-exposed photos were
shot using Provia 400. Both 17-35mm and 70-200mm Canon lenses
were used. Two bright planets, a starry sky, and a picturesque
lake. The scene was heavenly!" |

B. Ramotowski captured this series of photos
(at nearly the same time each evening) of Venus and Jupiter above
the Tower of the Americas. "Construction of the 622 ft tower
was an amazing feat in 1968. The 1.4-million-lb tophouse was
built on the ground and then lifted to the top, inch by inch,
with twenty-four steel lifting rods. It took twenty days to do
this," notes Becky. |
