- Photographs of the Transit of Venus, June 8th, 2004
- Wayne French. "I took this with a video camera and then worked it over on my
computer. Panasonic Palmcorder about 6 or 7 years old on a photo tripod. I just held a
sun filter in front of the lens. One of those mylar sunscreens. I took the
shot at the golf course parking lot at 152 and Jerusalem Rd. No clouds.
"
