This was shot at about 10 minutes to complete sunset (at my back). Wind gusts up to about 30-50 mph( sorry, I'm american and suck at the metric system).
I used Kodak tri-x 400 pushed to 800 for more speed. (for this shot I was willing to accept the grain.) I even used a tripod, although the wind still nearly took out my setup.
Don't have the exposure records on hand, but I know the f/stop was maxed on my 300mm vivitar lens...f/22. Shutter speed was probably somewhere in between 1/30 and 1/125?
Camera body was an OLD nikon FM. I also used the TTL meter.

For shots like this I will generally use a 4x5 view camera with T-Max 100 or 400 and meter using a handheld spot meter....Although If you really want to get pissed at photography, just try and use a view camera in high winds.
Whew! I hope that will tide you over Finder.
