See Moonrise, Hernandez & then come back & explain just how the Zone System assures all this.
Read Adams' explanation on this picture and then come back and explain just how little you understood.
Since he was pressed for time and did not have a meter in hand Adams based his exposure on the moon's known reflection. He basically took an educated guess and he did not use the ZS for this picture. To his misfortune the guess was wrong.
OTOH why dont you pick some of the hundreds of pictures he took using the ZS and which are great and come back an explain to us how the ZS does not work......
