Testing Email And A Few Comments

Hi, all.

I thought this list was quiet until I remember I didn't change my mail
options with Google. <sigh>

Mike, I have to say your post about relating the phone to your body in space
and the object being photographed was spot on. It is hard to determine this
and to get a good description of it from a sighted person. You can activate
the camera and they can look at the screen and see what's being seen and
adjust their position accordingly before they take a still picture. It's
almost like a video for them, at least that's how people have described it
to me.

I've only ever used the back facing camera, probably because I use it for
scanning and object identification so much and it just seems to work better
for those apps.

I never had 20/20 vision, but I do remember how things look in relation to
each other and how my height and an object will change in relation to each
other if I move or the object moves.

I've been able to get pics of my dog if she's standing in front of me. Keep
in mind this is a wiggly black Lab, but I've had good luck with making her
sit and then standing in front of her with the phone pointed slightly down.
She will automatically look up at me, so I can usually get a good shot of
her face even if she's got something in her mouth. You don't need to be as
close to something as you think, in fact, being too close will make the pic
blurry and eventually unrecognizable.

I'm open to any suggestions for getting better shots. I know most of it is
practice. A knowledge of the area you're shooting in helps, too. Nothing
like backing up and hitting a wall or tripping over a squeaky dog toy.
<grin.
