Just curious what the other photographers here do about naming photo files...my method is a carry-over from all my years photographing rail subjects. I more or less put as much information in the name as I can...
An example would be like this:
ua_b777-222er_n216ua_kord_4-6-04b
Easy to figure out- United Airlines B777-222er reg# N216UA; taken at KORD on 4/6, and photo "b" of a series.
The only problems I have run into with this is when I get beyond the letter "z" in the sequence, then I have to start with "za", "zb" etc. Other one is when you see the same a/c more than once in a day...but I solve that by modifying the date like "4-6-04-2"...then it is easy to go back with the a,b,c idea.
Anyone do something else? I'm always looking for ways to improve this.
