The light drops as you reach totality but don't forget the lesson of checking the results as you go along (remembering that any built in metering is likely to struggle with making the right choice unless you use spot metering on the moon itself).

I will remember to chimp the results as I go
And check on the spot metering
I'm very excited because the plans of the Wellington Flickr Group to head out as a group of people are really starting to come together.
