Many of you will be aware that Photographers with Disabilities runs an accessible studio and support group within the Bristol which is regularly used by our own members and by other photographers locally. You may also know that we also host a facebook group which is steadily growing with members...

Hiya, Its very easy when talking about photography and disability to get into the many things people can not do and perhaps ignore the many things they can do! Balance and visual problems can cause many issues with digital photography but certainly are not reasons to avoid taking up the hobby...

Hi, It seems we often forget young disabled people are also interested in photography. Photographers with Disabilities has just started a new group for young people aged between 10 and 18, we have a new website under construction www.pwed4youth.com and we have a Facebook group PeD4Youth...

Hiya, This issue of sdeeing images on a reasonable sized screen is something I have always struggled with. I go back to cameras like the Mamiya C330 and even linhofs and 5x4 but they have all caused problems and I have ended up using magnfiiers on them. I can't focus a camera accurately...

Hiya, Does anyone have experience of using eye-fi cards especially in relation to them being an aid for disabled photographers e.g. being able to link them to a computer and show the results immediately on a large computer monitor. How quickly does the stystem work and is it as good as its...

Having had a look through the thesis, the prototype was a modified contax 645 partly because of its size and the ability to add in the mod between the back of the lens and the sensor and partly because of the number of the size of the sensor in it, suggesting its possible to modify exisiting...

Hiya All, Lets bring tohis back to topic. Would agree with Someller, the demo pictures I have seen seem to allow you to move the focus backward and forward or along the width of a picture, you choose whats in focus and then the rest goes out of focus. This is really great technology if you...

Hmmm hi, Well know the feeling about walking into things, I headbutted a lamp post the other week which set off a migraine which is never fun, but then I am visually impaired and it was a very bright evening with the sun straight in my face! I hope by now you have found a good optometrist...

Hiya again Please do have a look at photographers with disabilites website, under the resources menu there is now quite an extensive list of equipment of interest to photographers in wheelchairs. Chris

The advent of video on DSLR’s is to some a rather strange idea; after all still cameras are for taking photographs and video cameras or for movies. Yet this additional function has created a problem in that you cannot use the optical viewfinder of the DSLR when in movie mode, you instead use the...

Gemma Hi, Two issues here! Taking great photos as one and problems with angles as another. Then on top of those two is another and that is how your disability affects your use of a camera. Taking great photos, well many of the great photos are probably taken from unusual angles, thats what...

Currently based in Bristol, although anyone is welcome to join the group we are trying to open an accessible studio, you will see from our website that we have the possibility of renting premises near to Bristol. Long term we would like to open accessible studios around the country. How can...

All good advice so far, also remember there will be other peoples children around and they may object to their children being photographed. Do check out the church before hand, I would contact the person in charge of the church before hand and ask their advice and hopefully they will let you...

David thank you, the car park is managed by a ppc but I cannot now remember what they actually issued us with. This must have implications for hospitals as well especially where people are genuinely unable to walk, perhaps because of illness, park in disabled spaces but without blue badges.
