Transit of Venus

Today is June 5, 2012, and I have had the good luck to be able to catch the sun peeping out from behind clouds just long enough to be able to capture on camera the event known as Transit of Venus which will next occur 105 years later. Posting some of the photos here. All were taken in Hoboken, NJ with a Canon T1i and a Canon EF 70-300mm EF IS USM lens.

The following are all raw as taken with no postprocessing done:








Here are a couple with some postprocessing done (from two of the above originals):
