Looks nice but can't see the detail.

Ken: Can you move closer in with your camera? Sure would like to see more of your work.

Sam,
I did try that but it still comes out with too much of a glare. I need to get a differnt camera or even a photo box, I belive that would help a lot.

theres an excellent phpto article somewhere in this forum. i modified the thing to better suit what i have to work with, and sams' knowledge prevails. the white background made a very noticeable change for the better
in the fotos that i take. it helps to get rid of the nasty glare which hides the delicate linews you're trying to reveaol. the technique is cheap too.

ken4c,

IÂ´m making the pictures with digital Canon camera 3.2 megapixels , using the Macro option from close range. I didnÂ´t made any pictures for now inside the house, every pictures taken outside. The best weather when the there are some white clouds and the sun is almost not seen. Then you only need to find better position to take a shot without the reflection of arms or camera in item. Here is the result http://www.igraver.com/forum/showthread.php?t=533
