LOL. This is the usual question with this photo. He is, however, a teenager. The problem is usually getting them to move rather than the opposite!
Actually the threat of having to do it again helped.
It was quite funny really. After an hour of setup, trial shots etc on a grassy sloped lookout path I was about to take THE shot when the automatic sprinklers came on all around us. I had to grab the camera and bag and scamper to safety. After I disabled the relevant sprinkler, I was able to set up again and shoot. I didn't get the levelling right though as you can't see anything apart from the moon in the viewfinder. It is only a ?1/8 crescent moon but looks full due to the saturation and 3 mins worth of movement blur. The street lights were sodium lights so there is a yellow cast to the picture and sky. Easy to white balance out but I don't really like modifications of pictures.
