Closer, Everyday

The image is a composite collage of 30 days of Venus-Jupiter, coming closer to each other till their conjunction on 9th June. Starting from 11th May, each slice of the collage was captured every day, till 9th June. On most of the days, the images were captured during civil twilight in order to showcase the varying colours of the twilight sky along with the planets. However, on some occasions, due to the presence of clouds, images were captured during nautical and astronomical twilight. During capturing the images, the camera was kept level to the horizon, and the planets were placed right at the middle of the frame (as much as possible). The images were captured with the same camera, the same lens, at the same focal length.

The processing involves cropping all the images and placing the planets equidistant from the centre to show their movement with respect to one another.
