[Journalists] Digital cameras?

[LoriStay at aol.com]

Hi, Cheryl.
My husband is totally blind, and has been known to take better pictures  than 
I do.  To avoid getting shots of the sky, make sure the bottom of the  camera 
is parallel to the ground, and don't let the lens tilt upwards.  It  should 
be horizontal.  Try resting the camera against your chest to correct  the 
angle.  Stand at least five feet away from your subject, and point the  lens 
towards his/her voice.  This should work.

Hello. I read with interest the question 
about digital cameras for  point-and-shoot work. I wonder if any of 
you who are totally blind have  done any point-and-shoot photography. 
I've always wanted to have somebody  go out shooting with me and see 
how I could aim my camera at people's  voices and get really cool 
over-exposed shots of people's heads and the  sky. I just wonder if it 
can be done.
