I really really tried on this one but never could get the focus right on and thngs were not very stable. Intes MK91. I have no idea how to process the color, guess it doesn't matter since I couldn't get the detail I have seen that others achieve via their postings.

Comments/suggestions?

James, don't be discouraged, you should have seen my first! LOL! 8)

Now, first things first, what equipment (camera) & settings did you use?

Focus is CRITICAL, you must work on getting it right, as nothing else matters if your focus is not DEAD-ON. I go back & forth several times, between in-focus & out-focus, until I stop in the place I feel is the best, normally based on small features, and not the largest ones.


Clear skies, and keep it up! 8)
