Hi Edward,
I just spotted this little gem of yours,class work mate!
By the look of things your having my problem,with your pictures?
Are you taking them with a digi compact on macro or an SLR?
Best Regards
Paul
Hi Edward,
it may be lighting? it may be your macro setting,but your too close? all of the above!
I HATE PHOTOGRAPHY.....Drives me nuts.
One of my kids is at uni,3 years on the subject,and is little help! its the dark art????
Best Regards
Paul
the grainy photos .... try and set the ASA on the camera to a lower setting, use a tripod or a stack of books, and use the self timer to take the shot ( stops shake from pressing the button! ) the graining is almost certainly the camera trying to get the exposure it needs by keeping a fast ish shutter speed and ramping the "film" speed.
HTH... oh try about 100 asa, should give a nice result
