Only you will know after you have selected an aperture, and taken a meter
reading, or trial shot.
Since wasted digital shots cost nothing, why ask us rather than just
trying
various aperture/shutter speed/ISO combinations for yourself?

How would we know exactly? What is the reason YOU can't try it for
yourself?
Isn't instant image review and histogram enough for you to make your own
decision?
>Also, should I bump up the ISO?
Depends on how much noise you want, and whether there is anything moving
that you don't want blurred.
Once again, the reason you can't try any number of combinations for
yourself
is what exactly?
My only advice is shoot just after sundown or just before sunrise, (will
depend greatly on what lighting is on at those times)
and make sure you have a tripod.
