With BeMyAI and Lookout on the rise and existing services like Seeing AI and Envision being out there, it seems like a lot of #blind people are trying to become familiar with phone cameras and their interfaces. There are a lot of questions about camera positioning--e.g., how to point, how to stand, what will be covered, etc.
@ppatel Oo, even better. That means deaf people could get the info also. I'm not deaf, I'd just rather read something at my own pace/be able to copy bits and pieces for personal notes if I want to, things like that.
@ppatel@devinprater You could get Judy Dixon’s permission to turn it in to an audio tutorial. She really has put a lot of work in to that book and it would be a shame to see it wasted. It has literally everything you are wanting to know. I learnt a lot from it. But most of my photography skills have come from doing.
@ppatel@noahcarver I have been teaching myself how to use the camera for years, but I am always open to tips and new info. I bought the Judy Dixon book a few years ago, but it didn't really go into as much depth as I thought it would. If you write an article, or record an audio tutorial, I'll definitely give it a listen.
@Lynessence@noahcarver I looked at that book earlier today. It was not as detailed as I'd like to be. I'll do a thorough introduction to photography and how to take good pictures.
@ppatel@charvor Yes, definitely, although I'm not sure whether a static demonstration will cover all of the possible cases. I feel like this is such an individual thing that a webinar may be a better option here.
@ppatel It would probably be helpful. I know I had sight before and I still have a tendency to put the camera slightly off in one direction or another.
