Digital BW, The Print

Christopher ­ I don¹t know if you have a spot meter, but you might think
about taking multiple light readings ­ especially one of the moon ­ on the
night(s) before the full moon.  That way you can make a range of exposures
on the night of the full moon that will include detail in whatever areas of
the scene you would like to have detail.  If it were my shot, I would shoot
RAW files and use something like ³merge to HDR² in Photoshop to combine the
ones I needed.

If you go that route, be sure to use a good tripod, and vary the exposures
using shutter speeds instead of changing f/stops to avoid problems in
combining the images later.

Good luck ­ it sounds like a worthwhile challenge.
