did you take this free handed or from a tripod, If free handed that's one steady hand.

No tripod, but not freehand either. Placed the camera on top of a solid object in order to hold it rock steady!!

Hey JJ...I snagged a bunch of good ones like this and the found that outdoors with some indirect sunlight reflecting at an angle did the trick.

Thanks! I'm actually a photographer by trade so I have very little excuse for a bad pix. :) All the etchings were a Nikon D200 on a 70-200mm lens @ 200mm with a magnifying filter. I have a macro lens but it's on loan to a friend and once I get that back I should have some better pix to post.

Here's a thought, you're off for one more week so go outside and get some sunlight and fresh air. Otherwise you might start to look like grandpa from The Munsters

The first day I tried it, the results were poor due to the poor lighting I was using. Had to change my mind about the camera quality once I improved on the lighting. It's a pretty good camera....value for money. JJ
