Comments on: Could visual impairment actually be an advantage in photography? http://blog.blindphotographers.org/could-visual-impairment-actually-be-an-advantage-in-photography/ By, for and about blind and visually-impaired photographers Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:28:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jim Adamson http://blog.blindphotographers.org/could-visual-impairment-actually-be-an-advantage-in-photography/comment-page-1/#comment-1830 Jim Adamson Wed, 17 Feb 2010 08:42:48 +0000 http://blog.blindphotographers.org/?p=209#comment-1830 Sorry to hear that crotograper - If you do have severe focus problems, then maybe it's a case of playing to your strengths - looking for bold larger shapes rather than minute details, and prioritising contrast whether it's colour or B&W. With relation to the post, that's what I was arguing - not that we're out & out better photographers in every respect, but that we see images differently & may capture something that a fully sighted person may overlook.

Can others use the viewfinder properly? Otherwise, I am not sure. Are you sure it is the camera? Can others use the viewfinder properly? Otherwise, I am not sure.

I can find no advantage. Sure, I can do some things through photoshop that work, but, I can't get sharp images. I can take garbage images and make them really different through manipulation. That is not what I have ever done. I like a crisp focus on any camera. I just can't see a crisp image any more. Not blind, but, the glasses I just got do not work any longer. Any suggestions?

That is what makes photography from people who have a visual imparement so interesting and inspiring because they see things differently their images have a different feel. “As a more general argument, it could be said that photography is a means of portraying something beautiful or interesting that you as a photographer see in a particular scene, from a perspective that others may miss.”
