The moment of the Venus Transit sunrise on June 8, 2004 over Cape Code Bay, Massachusetts.  This series of images was taken with a tripod mounted Nikon 300mm f/2.8 lens with a 2x teleconverter (600mm f/5.6) and the Nikon D-70 DSLR.  The individual frames were taken at about ten second intervals over about 2 minutes and were manually aligned and combined to create this GIF animation.
