Does your camera have a macro setting? Also natural light photographs the best!

Definitely try your macro setting - it's a normally a button or setting with little picture of a flower, it gives much more detail and definition in close up shots HTH

Do the macro and if you have a sport option on your camera choose it . I am also not an expert but that is the only way I ca take a pic of my nails :lol:

What model of camera are you using incidentally?

its a kodak not sure the model but ive had it about 2 years now so it probably due replacing. My daughter had it earlier so cant find it at the minute to check the model xx

Without knowing the model you use, try this:

* Take pictures in a well light place of natural light (near window).

* Turn off the flash

* Turn on Macro

If you have P or M mode, try changing aperture or shutter speed.

If the pictures come out too dark, increase ISO number (this should be changeable on most cameras).

Ah right OK...

I've had best results from Panasonic Lumix cameras so far - the auto mode on them seems intelligent enough to give excellent results in most conditions...
