OK guys - it has been 2 months+ since my original posting. Here are the results using some of the ideas from this post. Here is what I did to get the results: 1 month in 46/70 15 days in 200 10 days in 700 10 days in TO here are the pictures...I must say, I feel I'm beginning to get somewhere now. If you have any ideas on how to take better pictures...that will be greatly appreciated as well

I have to agree with Mel,it`s a very good formula,that`s the one i always used,i think the key was the tripoli..............Rocky

Hi Rockkwizz, I am at present using the auto shutter as I find no matter how hard I try to hold the camera I get a slight shake when I press the trigger
You have 10 seconds after pressing the trigger to get stablised ! use a tripod ( best way) or a piece of stick to steady your hand
Hope this helps ? they are turning out fine,Thanks for persevering and sharing your results .
