You just have to get up more than an hour before sunrise. As to doing this without a meter, I would set a basic dusk 16 exposure on print film (with 100 speed film say 1/8 at F4) and shoot a frame every minute as the light fades in the sky. Obviously, if it is dawn then as the sky brightens. Once the sun breaks the horizon then you are back to sunny 16. Then of course, with a completely black sky you should be able to drop any sky you want over the castle...

However, if I knew I'd be there another couple of nights I'd make a point to be there earlier the next evening and build earlier part of the day around that time. That is if it were crucial to a paying assignment. As a tourist holiday? Well if you could make it work without "she who must be obeyed" not being annoyed, ;-) I'd be there early the next evening because it has the potential for a beautiful photograph. And if I were doing colour I'd bracket at wrong or right time. Lots of them! ted _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
