Does anyone have advice on photographing at night without a flash?
I'm writing a book on Whip-poor-wills, and I'm soon going to be observing some biologists who work with nightjars. I may have the opportunity to photograph the work or one of the birds they're tagging. I imagine we'll have headlamps on, and the moon will be nearly full -- so hopefully, they'll be some decent ambient light.
I kind of doubt I'll get anything usable in the book, but it'd be great to try. But even something usable in a presentation would be wonderful. I use an older Nikon D5000. I have a 55-300 mm lens, and I have one (which I rarely use) that's 100mm and below.
Thanks!
