I'm working on a new project and I've run into an odd problem. I need to shoot a series of photographs--let's say it is a light bulb against a dark surround. I need to shoot two images at the same time, using two cameras. I need to shoot a bunch of these pairs.
Later, I want to match the pairs up. I can't use any sort of notch method of numbering the holders since the dark surround will not expose the notches.
How to match them up?
Here are my ideas but I'm looking for better ones.
1) Put a little written tag in the image area, at the edge. Might work and I can erase them after I scan the negs but I'm worried that "glow" from the light source might reach the tag area--and I don't want to retouch to that extent.
2) I could i.d. the holders and develop the negs two at a time. Slow and painful but it would work.
3) I could buy some sort of neg system (tubes?) that I could number and keep the negs sorted and id'ed the whole way through the process. I don't think I'm organized enough for this...
Any other ideas?
