[LargeFormat] Palm software for large format photography

[lnphoto]

There are two ends of this spectrum. Phil Davis and the BTZS where every
movement is recorded and it takes a half hour to shoot something is at one
end. Ansel and the Zone System is somewhere close by,  In the middle is the
huddles masses that shoot what the meter says and not think twice. At the
far other end is the Weston system. "Expose the film until you think the
subject is going to move",  was at least one of his rules of exposure,
although he was refering to portraits rather than landscapes at the time.

When I go out to shoot "spiritual Photography"  That is photography that
satifies my spirit rather than photographing fairies, the most complicated
piece of equipment I take is a lenscap or a country shutter.  Occasionally
packard shutter will show up in my bag but I prefer the country. the meter
is in my head. I figure by now if I can't read the light for B&W I should be
come an accountant.

Now I will admit when I'm "working for a living" there's no question that I
will fall to the crutch of a light meter and even an accurate shutter. But
time is money here and I couldn't have shot 3500 photographs in a little
over three months by divining the exposure (well I did a couple of days when
the battery failed on the meter) and lettting The Force guide me. infact I
had to shoot that medium format because of several factors, cost of film,
subject matter, time frame etc. Perhaps a palm pilot might have worked here
as a log. I don't know what trouble I could have gotten into tapping icons
on a palm in a bouncing truck (oh no I just hit delete!) but will admit some
of my writing took divine inspiration to decypher.
