I wonder how many of us have not thought at some time,’I wish I could take a picture.’
A few days ago, Ethel, one of my hens, had gotten up on a chair where I had set a cast iron skillet. She had settled herself happily in the frying pan, chirring softly, probably talking about the egg she was going to lay. When I realized where she was, I started laughing and wished I could get a picture of her. Rather than assuming I couldn’t, I wish I had, at least, tried. Oh, and for clarification, Ethel, chair, and skillet were on the porch, not in my kitchen. <smile> Crystal From: Cara Quinn Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2013 2:41 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: taking photos when blind Hi Robert, Voiceover will tell you when the image is focused but not centered. When the camera recognizes a face, then I believe that VO will say where that face is in the frame, but for objects in general, VO will not be able at present, to tell you where that object is in the frame, simply because it does not know what object you are aiming at. the idea of focus is different from when an object is centered or not. Focus means that the subject of the image is being seen clearly by the camera so it will produce a clear image when the shot is taken. Does this make sense? The two concepts are different… HTH and have a great day!

How does one focus the image correctly? I read somewhere that VoiceOver is supposed to tell you when the image is centered. I have never seen that happen. Thanks for your help.
