Shafran,
A warm hello and welcome to IndiaWilds! I am happy to note your interests. I would strongly suggest to look at the older images posted and see the comments. That will help you in visualising the situation to certain extent. The TIPS section will also be of lot of help. In case you want something, then ask in the TIPS (about photography) or equipment discussions (if it is about equipment) and it will help you in learning.
Cheers,
Sabyasachi
