Venus Shining After Sunset, Lavra, Matosinhos, Porto, Portugal

Aperture

Shutter

ISO

On the west coast of Portugal, the sun always sets over the Atlantic Ocean. Walking along the beach near where I live a few days ago, I witnessed a magnificent sunset.

As it grew dark, I was marvelled to see the planet Venus above the horizon. In an hour, Venus will “descend” in the sky and disappear, but at that moment, it was a very bright point in a dark blue sky that caught my attention. With my camera mounted on a tripod, I used a low shutter speed to avoid increasing the ISO too much.
