Transit of Venus, anyone?

[Kayaker72]

Dr. Thought you had been following. Just wanted to be sure.

So, I got lucky. It has been raining hear long enough that I know people working on Arks. The forecast was for most rain and certainly clouds during the transit. But, things parted just long enough. I've only processed these two, but, hopefully they tell the story.

Both shot through the Baader film.

EDIT---just saw Steve's post. Excellent capture.
So, my wife was with me and to give me a few more minutes of shooting, I tried to get her excited about it. So, she looked through the lens and looked back at me and we had the follow conversation:
Her "So, it's a little dot"
Me "No, it is Venus, and it is between us and the sun. It is a whole planet and this is the last time you will see this in your lifetime!"
Her "So, it's a little dot"
Me "Ummmm..yeah...but the little dot is a planet??!"
Her "I'll wait in the car"
