do you mean turning the camera so that the format is higher than wide, or some camera setting? If you mean camera settings, I'll stop you right there, the only settings I have are aperture and shutter speed :)
Yes, exactly.
I suspect there's an ISO setting of some sort :) If it's a digital camera ISO relates to a gain setting on the sensor. If it's a film camera, well, ISO relates to the speed of the film.
Yes, ISO is there too, but my SOTDs in particular are still photography with artificial lighting and a tripod.
I get the lowest noise at ISO 200, and now it's not a variable anymore (in this setup). Only aperture for controlling depth of field, shutter speed for exposure.
If I want grainy pictures, rather than cranking up the ISO, I do it in post.
Ah. Yes. I was thinking more about photos in general. The modern AI denoise tools are amazing, btw, but I had to put the GIMP in the rearview to play with them.
Also filling in background with AI tools feels crazy
