One method not mentioned is to anticipate. Pre focus one of the poles
when the doge reaches this pre focused zone, pull the trigger.

Hi arkitekt2,
I started in photography before Lightmeter where in camers I had to learn exposure by lighting conditions. Basic exposure on a bright sunny day is F-16 with the shutter speed set to the reciprocal of the ISO.
Because the moon is lit by the sun your exposure should be 1/200th of a sec. at F-16 or F-11 with ISO set at 200
Focus on Infinity
Exposure will change slightly with different lenses This should be a good starting point.
Hope this is helpful.

Hi Psergel,

My first thought is to change the view from down the hill, to shooting uo the hill with the sky in the background.
I would like to share with you something that I learned from ( Griff Joe Smith ) of Texas Highways Magazine called Painted Light.
Set your camera on a tripod and compose your subject wait until the sun drops over the horizon this time until
total darkness is about a 15 to 30 min window where you can obtain a 2 to 10 sec exposure. You may want to
set your ISO to a lower number. Use a 500 or 1000 watt battery powered light you can obtain from Wall Mart or any sport store. When you start you exposure, turn on light and paint the subject with the light.
( You don't take a photograph, you make it. Ansel Adams ) With this technique there is a bit of a learning crave. However, the results are first class.
Hope this is helpful

Hi Robin,
You might want to read about this photographer at my web page
at www.CloseToTheFlame.com .
I have been learning myself. I try to obtain a informal portrait while photographing uncontrolled action.
Thanks
JW Smith
I will be glad to help if I can.
