I had it on a tripod,also had it on the Macro setting.
No flash.
Was using an improvised light box with white trash bag
as the light diffuser.
Just looked at these pics on my desktop computer with a real monitor
and I do see they arent very "sharp and crisp".
Hum,dont know what went wrong.
The knifes were about 6 inches away from the camera.
I set it to timer and then let it take the shot,so
movement isnt part of the problem that I can see.
Well,I will fool around again today,see what I can do.
I also noticed I cant get in close on the edge like I see
some of you guys do.
Are you zooming in all the way on the edge,or
taking the shot,then looking at the photo in actual size
and cutting that part out and saving it as a seperate picture?
