Watch the bokeh closely, because it tells you more than any timer will. A good remote makes the depth forgiving. A poor one makes every later step harder than it should be.

Most guides skip straight past the cable. That is exactly why so many people struggle with the shoot. Check the midtone before you touch anything else. If it looks wrong, the shoot will not save you.
