Chuckle. I think my late Mother must have taken more pictures of here out of
focus fingers than anything else. Its not so bad now one can just delete the evidence of course, but sadly she died before this became an everyday thing. I am blind due to RP, but I drew the short straw and its spread over the whole retina, so I have not ven got tunnel vision.

I used to have a cheap camera and did that too. Ones with sticky out lenses, or a viewfinder that goes through the lens, make that impossible.
