Canon EOS Ra Test Image — Waxing Moon and Venus in Twilight (Oct. 29, 2019)
The nearly 2-day-old and very thin waxing Moon in the evening twilight, above Venus which is just above the tree tops at right, about to set. Venus is just beginning a superb appearance as an evening “star” in late 2019 and early 2020.
This is a single exposure with the 135mm lens and new Canon EOS Ra camera, taken as part of testing. The camera works well for daytime use, though renders scenes with a warmer tone, a benefit for sunsets and twilights like this.
No gradient filters were applied here — the sky was very clear with a wonderful natural gradient in colours along the horizon.
