FOMATIK Field Notes

FOMATIK Field Notes: Journaling for Photography

You remember the shot. You never remember the details behind it.

Which camera were you running? What film stock was loaded? Was that f/8 or f/11 - and why did you choose it? Two days later, those decisions are gone. A week after dropping a roll at the lab, the light and the moment have faded with them.

FOMATIK Field Notes gives those decisions somewhere to live.

A structured shoot log and field reference built for film and digital photographers, FOMATIK Field Notes is designed to be carried on every shoot. Log your camera body, lens, film stock, f-stop, ISO, and shutter speed at the start of each roll or session. Track your change log as conditions shift. Review what worked - and build on it.

Inside you'll find: roll-by-roll shoot log pages designed around the Change Log method - capturing decision points, not just frame counts - plus a curated reference section covering the Sunny 16 Rule, the Zone System, sensor and film crop factors, and a camera type capability guide spanning toy cameras to full-frame mirrorless systems. Whether you shoot 35mm, medium format, or digital, the reference cards translate across formats.

100 pages. 5 × 8 inches. Designed for the pocket of a camera bag.

A FOMATIK companion app is in development - scan your completed log pages and carry your shoot history anywhere. Be first to know at fomatik.com/app.
