Orgainizing Contact Sheet by Exposure

So, one thing we can learn about the type of photography we do. Technically, our mistakes and our successes is looking at the exposure itself on the light table to see what you've got. So, in this strip right here I can look at these first five and because they're so dense you can barely even see through these negatives. Now, that doesn't mean that they're a complete loss. It just means that they're overexposed. This particular strip right here, it probably overexposed by maybe two to three stops. Which, is technically bad. Really, not so good. So, you really want to try to avoid this. And, one thing when I'm setting up to make a contact sheet is and you can really see it on the way I set these up is that I'll have my overexposed negatives on top. And, then my negatives that are underexposed to normally exposed in the middle. So, I can burn and dodge when I'm making a contact sheet. They might not have the numbers in the right way. But, I'd rather have a technically good looking contact sheet than the order of my numbers.
