It is really hard to see but I almost see a profile of a Mohegan and then there is a smaller ghost looking thing at the side of his face. Fran

I took about 40 more photos, but couldnt get much better,I guess I need a better camera for closeups. Heres a couple more blurry shots. If anyone can tell me whats wrong with my camera or me please feel free to chime in. Thanks a lot, snuffy

If you dont have your camera set on macro mode then you wont be able to take closeups like that while still keeping the focus. If the camera takes fine pics from a distance then you just need to not be so close to the slab or set your camera on macro for up close shots.

Yup, set the slab down and take a picture from farther away. A plain background works best too.

Some digital cameras have a selector button with the picture of a flower on it which is their symbol for "close up photo". Once pressed the camera may be moved closer to the subject. Also, on the internet you can search for your camera's owners manual and they are almost all available for free. That will tell you exactly what you need to do to take close ups. You can save and keep it on your desktop ( that's what I do) or search for it whenever you need information. That's a great chicken by the way...

It's a cartoon that comes out after 10pm on the cartoon channel seen on cable. A road killed chicken is revived by a mad scientist, kind of like that German fella Frankenstein. The chicken is what the show is named after but does not really appear on the show. One more thing: it's never a bother to me or almost all the folks on this forum when a person asks for help or advice. I'm glad I could help. My sense of humor has been described as off center but I mean no disrespect to anyone.

The pix are getting better. I don't mind seeing them either. I can't offer much help compared to some of the others on here, so I am glad when I can.
From the last pic you posted, it looks like if you back up a little more, the camera will focus just fine.
And if it makes you feel any better, I've never heard of robot chicken either LOL.

Hey snuffy, I dont mind seeing the photos either!
On macro mode, blurry photos are often the opposite problem. If they are blurry, you may need to GET CLOSER. I know, confusing LOL. On auto back up, on macro, get closer. It really depends on what camera you have. Mine will take great photos from just an inch or so away on macro. If I back the camera away further, it fuzzes out and gets blurry. Practice makes perfect.
