I did an entire museum a little while ago - the trick I used was
to do
two seperate sets of photos, the good camera taking high-res
shots of
every artifact and the small compact running off lots of context photos ("here is the entire cabinet") and pictures of labels,
etc. Put
the two sets together, sort by timestamp, and you're done.
[Or would be had I not forgotten to set one of them to daylight savings. Still, it was a nice first attempt...]
Yeah, I do this if I'm shooting in gardens, take two cameras, shoot the label and broad shot, then shoot the images I want with my good camera.Also for my art. For me the flowers don't always come with signs, except for the ones I'm growing. When I shoot in the field I take a cheap sketch book and a marker and write a sign and shoot it. But yes, with air shows the signs are often also crowded with the other folks at the air shows, and not usually are they the one shot of the plane you want (cutting off nose and tail)--still, it can be useful.
One of the features I really like about my (otherwise quite poor) digital camera is that it also allows for taking video and sound recordings. There's even a setting you can use where it will take the photo, then switch to audio mode, and you speak a short description of what you've just photographed.
Very handy.
