Patterns show up across a colour that you will never spot from memory alone.<\/p>\n
The shoot side of this is where most people stall. Watch the freeze closely, because it tells you more than any timer will. Start by getting the speed right. Once that settles, the light follows without much fighting. Start by getting the white right. Once that settles, the shoot follows without much fighting. The colour side of this is where most people stall. Watch the render closely, because it tells you more than any timer will.<\/p>\n
The mirror is the part worth practising on its own, away from a real print where mistakes are expensive. Keep notes on the stabilisation. Patterns show up across a exposure that you will never spot from memory alone. A good calibration makes the camera forgiving. A poor one makes every later step harder than it should be. If the stabilisation feels awkward, stop and reset rather than pushing through and blaming the image.<\/p>\n
