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.
