The alpha 0.0.0 release is now available.  Please check it out and let us know what problem you run into.  This is a test release and requires your feedback for improvements

To control the camera:

Mouse: Determines Focus

S Key: Moves closer focus

A Key: Moves away from focus

0-9 Keys: Change Photo
