Development Notes Field
Free-text field per shot for chemistry notes, dev-time variance, or observations.
Where to find it
Viewfinder Log Shot Notes field (after metering)
Summary
ShotLog.notes plus Roll tracking context. Each shot can carry a free-text note (aperture stopped down here, subject was backlit, used incident mode). Rolls also carry a context field for development metadata (developer, dev time, temperature variance, observations per roll).
Detail
How it works
Per-shot notes
After you log a shot, you can add a quick note: stopped down to 5.6 for depth of field, metered the shadow side, used zone system with natural light. These notes stay with the shot forever; later you can search or filter by note content.
Why add notes
Film development is context-sensitive. A note saying subject was backlit or I used incident mode here tells you why you might need extra development time or why the standard meter reading felt off. Your future self will thank you.
Roll-level observations
Rolls let you track batch-level metadata: which developer you used, nominal dev time, temperature variance observed, any push/pull adjustments applied. This travels with all shots on that roll.
Exporting notes
The CSV export includes a notes column. When you email the export, every shot's note goes along with it so your lab or darkroom contact sheet stays in sync with your app log.
