They are truly amazing. So jealous...<BR/><BR/>I wanted to give you a tip for taking these kinds of digital photos (if you didn't know it already). Many digital cameras have a macro setting. The Canon Powershot series has a little flower icon when you use this setting. The idea is that you can take extreme close-up pictures and still get good focus. My uncle told me that this setting was made originally to be able to make digital copies of papers from as close as possible (like in old spy movies with those tiny cameras). I've used this many times and the pictures don't come out as blurry.<BR/><BR/>You might also want to get some bright light on the framed photo and turn off the flash.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.Abba-Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089473766267377501noreply@blogger.com
