Field notes

• Tripod + remote/timer — exposures are long.
• Expect noise — use low ISO and NR, or embrace it as part of the look.
• Pinholes reveal sensor dust — clean the sensor, or heal spots in post.
• Enormous depth of field — everything's in focus; add contrast/colour in post so images don't look flat.
• Experiment with multiple exposures, panoramas, macro and zoom effects.
