The category ‘Workflow’
This weekend I have been hiking for over 12 hours in steep landscape of Kilsbergen where I live, taking photographs with most of my Yashica and Pentax-gear. A lot of pictures to sort through and aching legs to rest, but then some tests will be posted here :)

Google has published the book The DAM Book, by Peter Krogh, about work flow for digital images. Could be interesting even for us manual focus geaks. I got the tip from swedish photographer/bloger Magnus Nelson.
When you use a digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) with modern lenses, you can always go back and look in the Exif to see what lens you used for each picture. But with the manual, old lenses there is no Exif-data from the lens. So if I use my Canon EOS 350D on a photosession, and 3 manual lenses – how do I remember which one I used for a single picture?
Well, I have come up with this rutine. Simple, I know – but useful. Take a picture of the lens before you mount it. If you use some kind of filter, take a picture when you mount it and when you dismount it and put it back in the bag.
Heres from my session the other day… I started with Pentax Super Takumar 35mm/3.5. Added macroring to shoot some flowers.
Add macroring
I took my flower-pictures. Removed the macroring.

Took some pictures without the macroring. Then changed to Yashica ML 35mm/2.8
