Exposure Record

[AtlantaTerry]

I have a modified negative exposure record adapted from the one in Ansel Adams' "The Negative". You can access this and various other photographers information sheets I have on my web site at: http://www.TranquilityImages.Com/tools.shtml

They are all in Adobe's Portable Document File (PDF) format.

I looked. It is not there. Whazzup with that?

I just looked at your design and have one question.

You have 4 sections that say Data: ____ /___ /____

Don't you mean "Date"?

Just wondering...

I bought a set of 5 small files (triangular, rectangular, round, etc.) and notched some film holders as a test. Not much showed up on the film.

Do you have any tips on this?

Thanks.

Hi Terry,
I used the same kind of files, and on my first attempt, the notches didn't show up all that well.
What I did was simply go deeper.
When I file, I am filing only the inside lip of the flap, the one that rests against the film.
I angle the file downward so that most of the notch is further inside the flap.
It shows up well enough, but I'm afraid I don't get marks for neatness.

And I notch on the opposite side of where the film notch is.

This is holder #6 (triangle is a 5, flat-ish shape is a 1)

The newly updated Reciprocity Timer app for iOS now also will save your exposure information.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/reci...459691262?mt=8

It not only will calculate your exposure taking into account reciprocity, bellows extension and filters but you can save all that into a note that also contains a image taken from the phone that you have annotated with where you metered different zones.

On 1/2" x4" pc of tape, I write the name of the place, the date, the lens, the aperture, the shutter speed, the metered zones, what I rated the film at and what developer I will use. I use color coded tapes for the different films which is common through all my formats. This info lives with the negative for the rest of it's life. No database, no scrounging through notebooks..Simple beyond belief.. Why overcomplicate a simple record?

And no batteries.

My kind of style.

Same idea w/ my boy scout compass and paper maps.

Speaking of paper, check this out.

The Ansel Adams exposure record (circa 1973), designed by the Master himself. A durable vinyl cover – red so you won't lose it in the woods – and small enough for the pocket: 3.5" x 7".

They don't make them like this anymore.
