- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
It’s primarily a hobby, but from time to time it becomes a passion. I would never have the courage to try to make it a profession.
I’ve been shooting photographs since 1968 when I acquired my first SLR. over the years I’ve upgraded cameras and lenses and now use a Canon 80D. I seem to have focus issues since I now have an eye disorder that makes the world fuzzy, and I would like to figure out how to resolve those issues. I had hoped an autofocus camera would take care of it, but it only seems to have added to the frustration. I long for the days with my old AE1 Program and a split image focusing screen.
I feel your pain. I had a lot of issues up until cataract surgery about 3 years ago. Couldn't believe how much brighter the world was, whites were actually white....not yellow. LOL Basically fixed everything except close up vision, still need glasses for that only. Now however, I suspect that I may have scar tissue intruding, had it about a year ago, but they were able to use a laser to clear it away. The joy of getting older.
Regardless of your eye issues a couple things that might help. Go to a tripod, use the Live View. Most cameras will let you zoom or magnify the image so you can then focus on a specific point in manual. Or another other option is to adjust the viewfinder or diopter for your particular vision. Finally you can rely on the auto focus. I've had to do all three at one point or another.
