Peter -

Since I use black electrical tape as a shutter, one side of the tape is folded
into itself so that I can grasp it easily. I place this folded portion on the
right, remove it (I place my thumb over the hole when doing so, then replace my
thumb following the exposure), then replace it with the folded portion to the
left when I return it. That way I know which ones have been exposed.

Cheers -

george
