[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Roland, If you're going to try to preserve detail on the face of the moon itself, remember the "sunny 16 rule": 1/ISO @ f/16, just because it's sunny on the moon, and the moon's surface reflectance is similar to white beach sand... As for exposing ISO 125 film to terrestrial objects, get a Noctilux <g> and a really sensitive spotmeter ... But, seriously, if you're going to take shots with the moon in the field of view, anything more than two stops higher than f/16 will probably result in a washed-out moon. Hope this helps...
