I used to keep track of things by camera, but gave it up. It's too
confusing and there really isn't much point to it.
Several years now I have used the directory structure:
YYYY /
in_progress /
YYYYMMDD - tag
completed_work /
YYNNN - tag - YYYYMMDD
- Each session's work is downloaded by day and 'tag' into folders in
the "in_progress" folder.
- Completed work is exported to project folders in the
"completed_work" folder, which are assigned a yearly ordinal sequence
number and also the date that I started the project.
Lightroom's metadata browser now keeps track of which camera is being
used.
