Unless you use one of those palm pilots or whatever they call them I can't
imagine how you'd be able to record your exposure data except with
pen/paper. Maybe with a photographic memory, but most of us don't have one
of those.
Look around stationery stores and see if you can't find some reporter's
notebooks--they're slim and fit easily in a pocket. I use a smallish metal
clipboard that folds over on itself and then clasps shut--this holds my pen
conveniently inside, not to get lost, always ready for use. Works for me.
Without notes you're unable to provide anyone with anything but the image,
which might or might not be pleasing to look at but in and of itself pretty
much worthless as an instructional tool--to include both second parties and
the photographer himself. This is what we find on almost all photo
websites, with the images in question presumably presented only to receive
applause. Again, in this case no one learns nothing (to use a double
negative), but then I'd guess that's just about what these people are
interested in learning. An old story.
So, keep your own notes and try to learn from them. Avoid spending much
time on photo websites which are populated with photographers who are not
equally conscientious with their presentations. (Good luck finding these
"good" photo sites--they are few and far between.)

Olympus exposure records, what way do you do it?
Digital makes it a joy to get a record of how I took my pictures.
As an OM/Zuiko nut, I can only imaging doing it by pencil a pad and I'm not
good at doing that at times.
How do you keep record of your pictures using the OM's?
Thanks in advance
Daniel
