I am fixing to start a project where I am going to photograph a fence
row in 4x5 format from left to right and then either make a book or a
long digital print or something where the pictures are in order from
left to right, like a panorama. But I am wondering how I am going to
keep track of the order. When I remove the film from the holders, I
put it in a sleeve and label it and everything, but then when I'm
processing, the sheets get mixed up. Usually I write a note of some
kind like "Jerry in front of shed" to keep them straight, but in this
case, all the scenes will be a lot alike, and it won't do to make notes
like, "fence post, poison ivy, redbud tree," because so many of them
will be like that.
My partner suggested taking a sharpie pen and writing a tiny number in
the outside of the image area while loading or unloading the film. That
seems like it might work. Another idea I had was to shoot the whole
thing with a digital point and shoot, thereby creating a record in
order. The digital camera numbers pictures, obviously. Or using a
35mm film camera so that I can look at a contact sheet and know what
order the images go in.
Any further suggestions?
