Digital BW, The Print

As you are using digital I'd go for multiple exposures and blend - it is
certainly possible in other ways as has been proved by many film
photographers, however why make things difficult for yourself!  I'd also try
to use as long a lens as possible to maximise the size of the moon, moving
far enough back from the trees to get them the framing you want.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Moon rise and Baobabs


  Here's a photographic question that since I intend to print B & W,
shouldn't
  be too far off topic. There is a place in Botswana called the Nxai Pans
and
  adjacent to it is a smaller pan that has as its most prominent feature,
  Baines Baobabs, a grove of 7 massive trees isolated from the interference
of
  any other trees or brush on a small rise at the pans edge. I have long
  wanted to photograph the full moon rise over or adjacent to the baobabs
and
  this August I'm on my way. What I am looking for are technical
suggestions.
  I want the trees detail to be clearly visible, but tending towards
  silhouette, I obviously want the moon detail to be clearly visible. Is
this
  a shot for two exposures and a blend or for single exposures using ND
grads?
  I have 3 Singh's 1, 2, and 3 stops with a lee holder. I was planning on
  using my 17-35, my 85pc or my 70-200, on my D2Xs depending on the set up
  once I get there. We are there a couple of days in advance to get
oriented.
  I have celestial orientations courtesy f the USNO. Thanks in advance for
any
  suggestions.
