I was picking up some family from LAX and I found a nearby residential neighborhood with a good view of the planetary trio close to one of the runways.
All photos captured on 5/26/13 using my Canon 60d with the 18-135mm Lens at 106mm (eff 170mm), 1/50s F5.0 ISO1600. Some processing in Adobe Lightroom to increase exposure (brightness). In reality it was quite a bit darker than is shown.
