Use a Field Notebook to Jot Down “EXIF Data” for Your Film Photos

Use a Field Notebook to Jot Down EXIF Data for Your Film Photos fieldnotes

One of the big advantages of digital photography is that EXIF data is embedded into your images, allowing you to easily learn when and how (and more recently where) a particular photograph was captured. If you still enjoy shooting film, then a solution is to jot down notes about your photography while you’re shooting. The “Field Notebook” is a nifty little notebook published by Etsy user fabriKateShop you can use to record “EXIF data” by hand — especially useful for when you’re taking a film photography course. You can find them for about $12 each over on Etsy.

    Nice notebook, but if you’re pen & paper challenged and happen to have a mobile device, there’s an app for that too: iDataback http://bit.ly/ewBaom

    Wouldn’t be so useful with an argus seventy five now would it (fixed focus, fixed aperture, 1 shutter speed)?? :p

    I just bought a small notebook for maybe $1 that I use when I shoot with manual lenses.

    The Nikon F5 stores EXIF data internally, which then you can download. So some film cameras do have that capability, it’s just not embedded with the image.
