Details:
After a cold front sweeped out the sky and early evening looked clear I decided to capture Venus, Zodiacal light and hoped also to capture the shadow cast by Venus. The only place it was possible was a village called Hárskút which is among the high hills nearby and lacks significant light pollution. As it was a bit too windy after the front I wanted to get a friend come with me to hold the white sheet of paper for the shadow, but nobody had time now, so I had to get over the wind-problem by myself. The sheet was attached to a small board and put to the ground, where wind could not blow it away. It resulted the shadow of the camera. Then I tried to hold the sheet and get my hand's shadow too, it was a bit tricky but I succeeded with it.
Normal winters give some snow which would be proper to get the shadow cast on its surface, but this winter was way too hot here in Hungary...
Zodiacal light was also beautiful, with Venus blazing in the light cone.
