Palm software for large format?

I'm curious if anyone has any reccommendations for palm software for large format photography. I'd like to find a good database-like program to record information for each sheet, like shutterspeed, aperature, film speed, holder number, date, development factors (N, N+1, etc.), and misc. notes. Basically something to take the place of a notepad in the field.

In addition, I'd be interested in hearing what other software people have found useful.

I have started using a digital voice recorder to record field notes.

It can be voice activated and totally hands free!

I have tried a couple of different Palm apps available from Palm HQ

web site but in the end it was too much hassle and a microcassette

recorder I had in the drawer fit the bill. 15 seconds of talk versus

2-3 minutes of working with Palm Graffitti

I use a graphite archival digital recorder to take the notes when I

need to. A #2 pencil & acid free note paper.

But, check with Darkroom Innovations/The View Camera Store if you

want up to date info on Palm Pilots. Fred Newman knows these things

inside & out.

I find it easiest to take notes with a sharpie directly onto the

ziplock bags that I pack my film holders in. This prevents me from

losing little pieces of paper, or notepads. Later, I'll transfer all

relevant data to the back of my last draft/artist print with a pencil.

I've used it for about 6 months, and think it's great. It's also a

lot less expensive than the software sold by Darkroom Innovations.

The View Camera Store (advertises in View Camera and Shutterbug

magazines) sells the Palm loaded with Phil Davis' program. I believe,

though I'm not sure, that they also sell the program separately. I've

not used the program with the Palm but I believe it's basically the

same program that used to be sold for the Casio pocket computer,

which I used for many years. It's an excellent program that does a

whole host of things, including keeping a complete record of each

photograph. Among other things, it automatically cranks filter

factors, bellows extension, and reciprocity adjustments into the

exposure determination, functions as a timer, determines aperture

necessary to obtain a given depth of field, etc. etc.

Zero, nada, nothing. I do not use anything to record field notes. I

thought that maybe I was just lazy but it seemed to me that nothing

could be done about the exposure I made to film. It is what it is.

The only changes you can make to the negative is via printing. MANY

NOTES in printing. I just completed a week long workshop with Alan

Ross. He keeps no field notes either(sure made me feel good).Just to

make me feel better I purchased PhotoLogger. There are several

modules that let you set lens, f-stops, cameras, filters and so

forth. I have never used it, although it looks good in my Palm and

appears that it has all the information that one would need for note

taking.

Good Luck
