Bryan R. Monte – Lunar/Venusian Conjunction

Bryan R. Monte
Lunar/Venusian Conjunction

For many years, I have provided photographs for Amsterdam Quarterly’s websites. Most have been scenes shot in Amsterdam or in other places in The Netherlands with a Canon SX130 IS PowerShot camera. Increasingly, however, I have used my iPhone SE2022 camera for scenes that appear and disappear suddenly, such as this conjunction of the moon and the planet Venus taken during a momentary break in the clouds. This photo was taken in January 2025 at ISO 800, 141 mm, and f1.8.
