thanks for that Jostein. A very elaborate answer, which I hope I have understood fully. I have a few doubts, which might seem silly... please bear with me.
* if I am going to depress the film rewind button and prevent the film from advancing, why would I need to tighten the rewind crank with a rubber band? * about partly covering the lens - would this affect the background image, as this would have to be a long time exposure? (unless I take it in daylight and return to the exact spot later). thanks again. now to wait for another 10 days or so .... -Sridhar ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jostein" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Arathi-Sridhar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 1:22 AM Subject: Re: how to: full moon with silhouette > Hi, Sridhar. > 1/125 f/11 @ ISO 200 sounds pretty right for capturing moon detail. > > I think I'd suggest a double exposure. > 1.
