What kind of camera are you using, and are you sure you don't have a macro mode? I thought I saw you post some pictures that were much better than these. Report this Post to the Staff

New nothing about macro, therefore, when I was looking for a digi, never thought to look for that feature. I am sure once I get the tripod, my pics will improve. Your right, none of the ones today look nearly as good as my first shots with the camera. Report this Post to the Staff
TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 09/17/2006 10:00 am I'm not sure how far you are from the coin when you took those pictures,I'm guessing you were fairly close,as inches. Without a macro mode,I would try getting about two feet from the coin,get a steady rest and take a pic. I know the coin will look very small in your screen but you can then crop the picture to the edge of the coin,I believe this will help the detail somewhat. Report this Post to the Staff
