Dear Anne
Can I just say what a brilliant initiative this is, so many times trying
to take a sketch off a plan is such hard work and even bad photographs
can tell you so much more. No noise will be hard, since my posh camera
can be turned off its bleep but not off its click as the shutter goes
and without a tripod that would be slow and several shots required...
Using a dark exposure and upping the ISO would demand less light, should
anyone want tips.
Good luck, I hope it goes well!!
All the best
Amanda
PS It would be brilliant if it could become longer than the trial.....ie
that the trial is successful...!
