A new company may have solved one of my biggest challenges as a visually-impaired photographer. Manual focus is out of the question for me. Automatic focus is a gamble as it often picks the wrong subject to focus on. I have too many shots that have the background in sharp focus while the subject is just a blur.
Lytro’s Camera Lets You Shoot First and Focus Later (www.nytimes.com): The company’s technology allows a picture’s focus to be adjusted after it is taken.
Since I do so much of my process on the computer already, with the big monitor and indirect lighting, adding focusing to the post-processing makes sense to me. I can fund a good shot, estimate reasonable composition and lighting and take some pictures with the camera with this set up, knowing I can sort out correct focal points later. Hmmm…
