Or, keep using a/f, but use SPOT metering (if you have it) and meter in the triangular area between the headlight and the ditch light. Works great on "in your face" angles with long (300x or greater) lenses, provided you have the newer Canon or Nikon cameras with highly accurate spot metering. --David R.
