We were a little late for the sunset but we were treated to a magnificent display of the Moon and Venus. Initially heavy cloud threatened but it melted away to present a bright crescent Moon together with Venus.
I was a tad lazy, I set the D3 up on my heavy tripod taking images every 30 seconds and retired to the car to enjoy the hot chocolate!
The lighting was continually changing so I needed to adjust the exposure from time to time. I also changed the battery once, before it ran out, because I wasn't sure how charged it was to start with.
Taken on 2nd January 2017 at 18:18 with Nikon D3, 24-120 f4 lens, @35mm, 3 seconds at f7.1 ISO1600
Of course I have several others, but this seemed a nice example at a quick glance. Will probably upload another later.
