I took this shot on March 26, 2012 at around 7:30pm. It was during the conjunction of Jupiter, Venus and the Crescent Moon.

Orion Nebula Image
Orion Nebula Image taken tonight using my Nikon D300. ISO 2000 at 8.7 seconds at f/5.6
Crescent Moon Photos
I shot these pictures of the Crescent Moon last night. It was a beautiful, clear night and the Moon was hovering on the horizon just after sunset.
Sun Dogs or Phantom Sun Photos
I took this picture of some Sun Dogs a couple of months ago. Sun Dogs or Phantom Suns are bright spots in the sky often seen beside the sun, usually when the sun is low in the sky. As you can see in the photo, the sun was close to setting.
Crepuscular Rays Photo
Crepuscular rays are columns of sunlit air that have been separated by shadows. Sunlight scattered by dust in the atmosphere makes these rays visible. The shadows in the picture I took were caused by thunderstorms that were lingering on the horizon, but shadows can be caused by many things including trees, windows, or mountains.
